James Briggs crept under 20 minutes to take second place and lead the club’s contingent home at Sewerby, with Simon Ellerker earning seventh spot and Martin Hutchinson ninth.

Chris Price took 30 seconds off his personal best (PB) to slip under 24 minutes for the first time, and Mary Yates took 22 seconds off her previous best, while junior Becky Miller was third female and 20th overall.

At Wykeham’s North Yorkshire Water Park Parkrun, James Wilson’s 17:08 was good enough for first place, with Tom Mullen finishing in third position and Phill Taylor seventh.

There were achievements for Bridlington’s other trio of representatives, with Gillian Taylor second female and PBs for Di and Paul Raper.

The racing action began on Friday night at the York 5k series where an in-form Phill Taylor set a season’s best of 16:44 and Mollie Holehouse clocked 21:27.

Bridlington’s long-distance specialist Kendra Wedgwood was in action again at the Hardmoors 55, a 55-mile race from Guisborough, through the North York Moors and Cleveland Hills, to Helmsley.

She finished in 11 hours and eight seconds, to take third lady and the second over-40.
