Bridlington Road Runners sparkle at Anniversary Three Mile race

Starting on the seafront, near the Expanse Hotel, 34 runners headed along the land train track towards Sewerby, turning back along the clifftops path, looping back at the coastguard station towards Sewerby again, and then back to the start, writes John Edwards.

It was the third and final event of the club’s Winter League Series, and was a sealed handicap, meaning all runners set off together and were measured against an individual target time they were unaware of.

Phill Taylor was the first runner back, a minute clear of Josh Taylor, who was 10 seconds ahead of Nick Jordan. Mollie Holehouse was fastest woman, Clare Gummerson and Gillian Taylor completing the podium.

The men’s handicap went to Stuart Bowes, who, after a break from running, is aiming to run every day in February and has raised a remarkable £3,500 for Cancer Research. Second was Adam Dyas, third Paul Brown.

The women’s handicap winner was Mary Yates in her first race in Road Runners colours. Gillian Taylor and Lucinda Gibson were second and third.

Age category prizes: Phill Taylor, Alan Feldberg, Allan McFarlane, David Foster, Paul Brown, Nicola Fowler, Kerry Whitehead, Clare Gummerson, Jane Welbourne, Diane Palmer, Mary Yates and Linda Hall.

The juniors were also in action on Sunday morning, with their own version of the race on a shorter course, taking in just one lap – a distance of around 1.7 miles.

Theirs was a staggered handicap with the younger runners setting off first, and the faster, older runners giving them a head-start. There was a thrilling finish, with nine seconds separating the first six finishers.

Louie Dixon stormed to the front in the final few yards to take the win, Teddy Imeson pipping Hannah Imeson by a second right at the line. Josh Miller, Erin Gummerson and Micah Gibson were all close behind.

Ben Edwards was the fastest boy and Becky Miller the fastest girl. The winners of the Winter League after three races were Louie Dixon and Oceane Price.

Also on Sunday, BRR chairman Martin Hutchinson claimed a 10k PB at Dewsbury, finishing in 40 minutes four seconds, to take 348th place.

On Saturday, Road Runners returned from the Quibell Park Cross Country event in Scunthorpe with a selection of team and individual prizes.

The boys and girls under-11s both won the team prizes and the under-13 girls were second.

The boys u11 team was Tyler Choat, Teddy Imeson and Josh Miller, the girls u11s was Oceane Price, Annabelle Miller and Evie Lakes, and Rebecca Addison, Becky Miller and Kyra Leary competed for the u13s.

Annabelle won the u11 girls race and Becky was second in the u13s race.

Not to be outdone after watching their children excel, three mums teamed up to win the ladies team prize – Jo Dagnan, Clare Gummerson and Keren Miller, while James Wilson, Tom Mullen and Josh Taylor helped the men to second place.
