Scotland and the English areas see thousands of British road relay athletes in action for their clubs in popular spring events

SCOTTISH ATHLETICS RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS, Livingston, March 23

Central AC took the mens 6-stage title for the third consecutive year, leading all the way after Ben MacMillans fastest short stage time of the day on the opening leg. They came home 19 seconds ahead of Giffnock North, who were half-a-minute clear of Corstorphine AAC.

Scottish internationals Annabel Simpson (road and cross-country) and Jenny Selman (track) clocked the fastest long stage times to help Fife to victory in the womens 4-stage event, although Simpson had to peg back the substantial lead held by Edinburgh AC at the start of the anchor leg.

She eventually came home one-and-a-half minutes ahead of Edinburgh with Shettleston Harriers finishing almost four minutes in arears for bronze.

The meeting entry of 154 teams was the highest since 2019. Results are provisional.

MIDLANDS MENS 12 & WOMENS 6 STAGE ROAD RELAYS, Sutton Park, March 23

After the morning hail and heavy rain, the skies cleared and saw Western Tempo score a double by taking both the womens six-stage event and then the mens 12, Martin Duff reports.

The club was originally born out of a disagreement at Leamington but thanks to coach Dave Newport, who has links with Exeter University has grown, especially on the womens side, with an influx of students.

For the men, the event saw four long stages of 5.38-miles followed by eight short of 3.165-miles, whereas the women ran just two long stages, on legs one and three.

Women

For the women, Western Tempo built on their win in the autumn four-stage event at the same Sutton Park Venue and, like back then, was the first win at the event for the three-year-old club.

Their final margin of victory was getting on for three minutes but they did not have it all of their own way despite Megan Marchant giving them a first stage victory. Her time then was 30:22, the third best time of the afternoon and she said: I stayed with them for a bit then led from the hill.

Gloucesters Millie Porter took second but Marchant said of her racing that she had been out for six years and has now been back three, having joined Western Tempo from Cambridge Harriers.

Another newcomer to Western Tempo, this time from Harborough via Exeter University, Bethany Wallis maintained her clubs lead on the short stage two, but said: It was hurting all the way round.

The eventual winners slipped up on the long stage three, dropping back to third, 24 seconds down. It was Team Baths Anna Domville, with 30:36 and Birchfields Bryony Gunn who powered past.

Gunn took the Stags to the front and her 29:34 was comfortably the quickest womens long leg time of the afternoon. She said: I caught the lead at the Stone and am really pleased but I forgot about the guys we were running with.

Gunn also commented on a 33:02 PB in the Valencia 10km, which followed a Midland cross-country silver medal.

Western Tempo then retook the overall lead right at the end of the fourth stage as Tallulah Robin-Redmond just squeezed past Team Baths Annabelle Wallace with a stage best 18:39. She said: She was just ahead and then I just got her.

Then it was Inca Padfields race short stage best of 17:57 that all but sealed the win by opening out 27 seconds over Team Baths Tilly Nickell and she said of her run: I loved it and it was my first run here for the club.

The time was the fastest womens short leg time of the day.

Emma Powell then finished the job with another stage best of 18:36, as Caitlin Wosika sealed silver for Team Bath. Birchfield took third and were nearly eight minutes clear of the rest, but there were an encouraging 45 teams finishing.

Women (5.38M, 3.165M, 5.38M, 3x 3.165M): 1 Western Tempo 2:15:56 (M Marchant (1) 30:22, B Wallis (1) 18:51, L Cooper (3) 31:31, T Robin-Redmond (1) 18:39, I Padfield (1) 17:57, E Powell (1) 18:36); 2 Team Bath 2:16:38 (L Rayner (3) 31:28, F Spruit (2) 18:26, A Domville (2) 30:36, A Wallace (2) 18:55, T Nickell (2) 18:22, C Wosika (2) 18:51); 3 Birchfield 2:18:40 (H Carruthers (4) 31:48, R Nicholls (3) 18:48, B Gunn (1) 29:34, E Watters (3) 20:12, V Weir (3) 19:16, S McManus (3) 19:02); 4 Bristol & West 2:26:30 (A Hammersley (6) 32:04, C Jolliffe (8) 20:35, H Green (5) 33:20, S Everitt (6) 20:42, M Monaghan (4) 19:51, H Pollak (4) 19:58); 5 Stoke 2:28:19 (D Sherwin (5) 32:03, L Dawson (6) 20:16, A Kelly (6) 34:11, T Bloor (5) 20:01, M Vernon (5) 21:12, K Butler (5) 20:36); 6 Mansfield 2:31:16 (K Malone-Brumfitt (19) 35:24, G Manson (14) 18:58, C Hay (9) 34:28, P Roadley (8) 20:48, S Toyn (8) 21:26, M Johnson (6) 20:12); 7 Wolverhampton & Bilston 2:31:43 (L Tait-Harris (10) 33:10, B Rawlinson (5) 18:51, H Baddeley (7) 34:34, B Tabor (4) 18:47, V Foster (6) 23:07, J Lane (7) 23:14); 8 Royal Sutton Coldfield 2:32:43 (G Delaney (16) 34:27, S Duval (11) 18:42, C Tarnowski (14) 37:08, M Wood (12) 21:06, O Harris (9) 20:37, L Routledge (8) 20:43); 9 Trentham 2:33:06 (I Shaw (14) 34:17, G Stanfield (12) 19:10, J Stanfield (10) 35:32, S Taylor (9) 21:32, D Thomas (7) 20:21, C Higgs (9) 22:14); 10 Tipton 2:33:42 (J Charlton (7) 32:25, E Tromans (10) 20:43, B Walker (13) 37:04, M Woodward (13) 21:53, C Hollis (12) 21:31, S Banks (10) 20:06); 11 Shrewsbury 2:34:52 (L Cooper (11) 33:36, N Cook (13) 20:42, J Cook (8) 34:29, J Brown (11) 22:18, K Evason (10) 21:51, M Jones-Walters (11) 21:56); 12 Westbury 2:35:27 (R Paton (8) 32:33, S Cummins (9) 20:20, T Chick (11) 36:21, R Ellis (10) 21:49, E Woodworth (11) 21:55, L Miller (12) 22:29); 13 Halesowen 2:36:44 (L Collins (15) 34:21, M Dale (18) 22:08, P Dodd (17) 35:19, R Malone-Priest (17) 23:24, S Gill (15) 21:44, A Saker (13) 19:48); 14 Birmingham Running Athletics 2:37:09 (G Brocklehurst (18) 35:07, B Timmings (16) 19:17, A Lovegrove (16) 36:15, E Morley (15) 22:19, E Jones (13) 20:42, N Rae (14) 23:29); 15 Gloucester 2:39:17 (M Porter (2) 31:00, S Jones (4) 20:04, G Hinga (12) 38:25, E Stalberg (14) 23:12, N Marshall (14) 23:45, A Spackman (15) 22:51); 16 Cheltenham 2:42:10; 17 Bristol & West 2:43:03; 18 Bournville 2:43:09; 19 Northbrook 2:44:20; 20 Birchfield 2:44:31; 21 Leamington 2:44:35; 22 Knowle & Dorridge 2:46:28; 23 Rugby & Northampton 2:46:55; 24 Stratford 2:48:20; 25 Redhill RR 2:49:27

45 teams finished

Men

Western Tempo had a good start in third place on the 5.38-mile opener through Jack Bancroft but it was Coventry Godivas Miles Clisham who took the opening honours with what stood up to be the second-best time of the day at 26:04.

This was ahead of Leamingtons Callum Hanlons 26:22, as Tempos Jack Bancroft pushed hard behind. A large group of 15 had broken clear in the early stages, which reduced to 13 before Clisham got away. He said: I took the lead going out then felt good on the downhill bit and then gave it a go.

Then it seemed to be all Western Tempo after Dom James gave them a solid lead after stage two before Dan Gillett maintained it on three but it was nearly two minutes after Thomas Crocketts fourth stage 26:12. It was now Bristol & West behind thanks to Max Davis third best overall of 26:06.

He was chased home by the BRAT clubs Joseph Tuffin, whose 25:48 not only gained eight slots for his club but was also comfortably the best on offer over the long legs.

As the short stages unfolded there was a bit of a procession at the head of the field as the lead of Western Tempo varied between one and two minutes before yawning out to 2:21 with two left to run. This was over Bristol & West as third placed Notts AC were six minutes down.

Ben Price and Matthew Brunnock then finished the job but only after firstly Ben Robinson and then Jack Millars fastest stage times reduced the winning margin to just 68 seconds after nearly four hours of running.

Millars time of 14:56 was comfortably the quickest short stage of the afternoon and, asked why he was on a short rather than long le,g said: I am reserve for the World Cross and they asked me not to run a long leg.

Are you going as reserve anyway, asked your correspondent, to which Millar said there was a spare place available to the UK team management and they could have picked him to race anyway but chose not to.

As is often the case a couple of team managers suggested that the race should be amended to 12 short stages but, as things stand, tradition prevails.

NORTHERN MENS 12 & WOMENS 6 STAGE ROAD RELAYS, Wythenshawe Park, Manchester, March 23

Leeds City regained the mens title they lost to Morpeth last year, while Sale took the womens race after a close battle with Leeds, Martin Duff reports.

Men

It was Leeds Citys third victory in four years but Morpeth and then Salford gave them a good fight until the eventual winners led over the last three stages.

For the men, the long and short stages alternated until the start of leg eight before all remaining stages were short.

It had been Hallamshires Tommy Power who had won the opening 8km double lap stage, in 23:31 from Morpeths Finn Brodie with the eventual winners Mark Bostock back in third.

Morpeth went ahead through Josh Fiddaman on the 4.5km second leg with a 13:37 split but lost it to Leeds Joe Sagars 23;29 on the long third and retained the advantage on the next two stages through Alex Dunn and john Beattie.

However, Morpeths long standing servant Carl Avery had tried to bring them back into contention on the long fifth leg with a 23:11 clocking but it was to no avail and the holders had to then settle for third after briefly moving up to second on the sixth lap.

Back on that fifth stage, Blackburns Matthew Ramsden had helped his clubs cause with a 23:04 split that stood up as the days second-best long leg time.

Salford then went ahead on the sixth stage through Ewan Wheelwrights 13:31 before the races final long leg saw Joe Seward clock the third best 8km lap time of 23:09 to maintain their advantage.

Leeds Richard Allen was not much slower with a 23:16 split but they were still a good way back, but closed on the short stage eighth through Josh Woodcock-Shaws 13:37 and again on the ninth as Andrew Smith took another 13 seconds out of Salfords now shrinking lead.

The 10th saw Leeds just inch ahead thanks to William Tighes 13:49 before Sean Flanagan and Gavyn Chalmers finished the job. Leeds winning margin was just 49 seconds after nearly 3 hours and 25 minutes running.

Morpeth remained third but were only 31 seconds down but a minute clear of Liverpool, who had seen Jonny Mellor take them to third on the long third leg with the days fastest effort of 22:50. This was his first outing since a 2:09:09 marathon breakthrough in Seville five weeks earlier.

Women

For the women, their two long stages were first and fourth, with the rest short and it was Sale Harriers who led after the first 8km double lap stage through Greater Manchester champion Sophie Woods 26:54. This was a time that was only headed mid-race by Holly Weedalls 26:51 for Vale Royal.

Weedall was 10th in the senior race at the London International at Parliament Hill in January and, as an under-17, was third in the 2020 Inter-Counties race. As an under-15 and under-13, the Vale Royal runner had a series of good relays legs in English championships.

On that first stage, Leeds had Camilla McKnespiey back in second ahead of Vale Royal, who were third throughout the race after Sarah Dufour-Jacksons 27:33 on the opener.

It was a topsy-turvy race as Eleanor Currans 15:38 had seen Leeds in front after stage two and they remained narrowly ahead mid-race thanks to Steffi Luker-Edwards, despite Sales Helen Warburton closing with a 15:36 split.

Alice Wright then regained the lead for Sale with a 27;26 long leg clocking before Leeds went ahead again on the penultimate lap through Geogia Malirs, 15:22 which was the quickest at that time.

Sale finished with a flourish as Lucy Armitages anchor not only saw her club take the tape from Leeds, but also trumped the rest of the 4.5km short stage times with 15:10. It was too much for Leeds Jenny Walsh, whose 15:33 was nevertheless equal fourth best.

SOUTH OF ENGLAND MENS 12 & WOMENS 6 STAGE ROAD RELAYS, Milton Keynes, March 24

Highgate improved from second last years race in the Olympic Park to win the mens 12-stage by over two minutes.

Robert Wilson led them off in 10th spot, before Joseph Young moved them up to eighth.

Jacob Allens 25:42 third leg moved them up to second  which was held by John Gilfedder on the short leg.

Alex Lepretres 25:48 took them into the lead on the fifth leg and thereafter it was all Highgate.

James Ross, Flurry Grierson, Sam Jinks, Roger Poolman, mMonte Wilson, Terry Fawden and Charles Cooper completed the easy victory over Cambridge and Coleridge and Hercules Wimbledon.

Allen and Lepretre ran the second and third fastest long legs and it was Bedfords Jack Goodwin (25:41) who won the fastest lap award as Bedford ended up fourth.

According to the results still showing on Tuesday, Belgraves Rob Kelly was fastest short leg with 14:11 but as he was listed as 345th in the South of England cross-country, this may not be correct.

39 teams finished

Women

The womens turn-out was disappointing  considering it was only six legs with just 16 teams finishing and only 12 clubs able to field a half dozen in the whole of the South of England.

Aldershot, Farnham and District won the mens title last year but were only third in the womens race, but this time they regained the trophy with an one minute win over 2023 champions Thames Valley.

Like mens winners Highgate, they had a steady start with Emma Stevens coming home fifth on the opening leg and Harriet Preedy moving them up to fourth on the first long leg.

Lilly Cowards 17:34 the fastest on the leg and their teams short legs moved them up to third before Katie Hughes took them into the lead with the fastest long leg of the day with 29:26.

Consistent good steady legs from Katriona Brown (17:44) and Emily Moyes (17:35) moved them further clear as they were the best on legs five and six.

Thames Valley put up a good defence and were always in the top two after Charlotte Buckley came in second on leg one and Emily Carroll took the lead on leg two.

Buckley was second fastest overall on the short leg and they also had the second fastest long through Tracy Barlows 30:08.

Belgrave were a very clear third, almost six minutes ahead of fourth team Herne Hill.

Thames Hare and Hounds, Milton Keynes, Victoria Park, Kent (including W60 Clare Elms, the day after winning her fifth Euro Masters gold in Poland), Cambridge and Coleridge and St Albans completed the top ten.

The quickest short leg came from Southern under-20 cross-country runner-up Jenny Leggate who ran 17:12 on the opening leg before handing over to her Mum Ellen who kept them in the top two.

NORTHERN YOUNG ATHLETES 5km CHAMPIONSHIPS, Wythenshawe Park, Manchester, March 23

The best race was in the under-17 mens event where Johnson Hughes got the better of his rivals to win in 15:35, Martin Duff reports.

The Rotherham Harrier was 20 metres clear of Liam Johnson, who just got the better of Finlay Day for second.

The majority of runners in the under-15 boys race were from the Trafford club as Pio Aaron won from team mate Finlay Dobson-Emmas by a street in 15:48.

Rebecca Murphy, who was tenth in the Northern cross-country, took the under-15 girls race from Penelope Boyle by 50 metres in 17:30. This was a faster time than the 17;37 that was enough for Georgia Bell to win the under-17 womens race.

Bell had finished second to Lottie Langan in the Northern under-17 cross-country but had a comfortable win here over Megum Hoshigo, who also headed Langan here.
