North eastern clubs love their relays and Good Friday was the ideal chance to have another and, in what ended up as a close men’s race, Morpeth led the whole way, Martin Duff reports.
James Young, whose recent outings have been on the World Athletics indoor tour, gave them a good start, with what proved to be the fastest lap of 10:44. Sam Hancox increased the lead by halfway, but Sunderland began to claw back Morpeth’s lead. Finally, Joe Armstrong, with the second-best effort of 10:51, just failed to overhaul the winner’s Lawrence McCourt.
North Shields Poly took the women’s race but Gateshead's Elisha Tait, in her first outing of the year after a 34:11 10km at Telford in December, had led on the opener with a 12:41 effort. This was ahead of NSP’s Holly Waugh.
Katie Joslyn then took the lead mid-race before UK age-17 800m record holder and 2002 Commonwealth finalist Charlotte Penfold finished things off with the fastest women’s time of 12:40.
The veteran women’s race saw Olympic marathoner Alyson Dixon quickest with a 13:07 clocking but Tyne Bridge won comfortably.

77 women’s teams finished
For the second year, the Preston Park out and back double lap was again used, Martin Duff reports.
Runners carried a baton that contained the chip before passing to their team mates and this ensured that times were quickly available but some team managers were less efficient than others in making individual declarations.
Phoenix dominated the men’s four-stage relay after Miles Waterworth, the English Schools 1500m champion, brought them home ahead on the opening 2-miles stint in 9:25.
Archie Davis and Northern Ireland cross-country champion Finn McNally then increased the lead with identical 9:22 stages, as these three were the fastest overall. Simon Heath then finished things off for a 60-second victory.
Phoenix made it a senior double as their women too led from the start. Millie Dickinson put them ahead on stage one, before Kate Natkiel and then Welsh Commonwealth Games runner, Beth Kidger’s 9:35 fastest lap finished things off.
In her younger days, Emma Footman used to regularly put in fastest laps in these relays but here the now 42-year-old mother of two led the masters’ women’s race from the start and duly posted the quickest W40 time of 11:39.

The Aldershot pairing of Joe Morwood and Steph Twell came out on top overall in the four-race programme but each lost out in one of the events to a rival, Martin Duff reports.
RACE 1, EY EASTER 5km, April 7
Ten years after she last competed in the Island’s Easter Festival, former world junior 1500m champion and 2021 Olympic marathoner Steph Twell returned and began the four-day programme with a course record in the 5km, despite it being her first outing over the distance on the roads for six years.
Making the trip to the island with husband Joe Morwood, the 33-year-old, 2016 European 5000m bronze medallist raced to 16:05, to head 2022 overall winner Elle Twentyman.
Twell also won a bronze over 1500m at the 2010 Europeans but her record as a member of Great Britain teams in the Euro cross is exceptional with a number of junior Euro team titles at cross country and four individual under-20 wins at World and Euro championships.
In bright clear weather the pace, in the 5km race, was good as Morwood broke clear but, despite having a 20-metre advantage going into the final 200m, was unable to make it a family double, as a frantic battle behind saw the 31-year-old just lose out.
The race for the minor places between improving Jerseyman George Rice and local middle distance man Richard Bartram carried them within touching distance of the leader.
Their increased pace then carried Bartram to the front within the final few metres, to snatch the race in a 15:08 PB.
In his first race of the year, Morwood, the 2019 South of the Thames champion, was only just outside his best with 15:09, as Rice was a close third.
Twentyman was slower than her best of 15:46 and also a little down on her 16:08 here last year, whilst Roe (nee Mercier) was in her first 5km since 2019, with 17:09.
Overall (5km):
1 R Bartram (Guern) 15:08; 2 J Morwood (AFD) 15:09; 3 G Rice (Jers) 15:11; 4 D Galpin (Guern) 15:44; 5 L Holmes (U17) 15:46; 6 A Roe (Guern) 15:50

The Aldershot pair of Joe Morwood and Steph Twell made no mistakes in the cross-country on Saturday, as the conditions were good for the event held over the traditional 4.75-Mile L’Ancresse course.
There was an easterly wind behind the runners in the middle section of the route, which allowed a fast mid-race rhythm, as Morwood moved clear soon after the mile point. By mid-race, he had already built up a substantial lead. As Guernsey runners Dan Galpin and Alex Rowe trailed.
Galpin’s strong running over the second half of the race kept Morwood in sight but, by the finish, was 20 seconds adrift, with Rowe the same amount down.
Twell made it an Aldershot double but, at the line her margin over Elle Twentyman was just 10 seconds after keeping the 5km winner in her sights. Nix Petit narrowly took third from Katie King and was top local, albeit three minutes down.
Overall:
1 J Morwood (AFD) 24:48; 2 D Galpin (Guern) 25:08; 3 A Rowe (Guern) 25:28; 4 S Galpin (Guern) 25:47; 6 S Twell (AFD, W) 26:34; 7 E Twentyman (Taunt, W) 26:44; 8 D Holmes (M40) 27:04; 9 M Batiste (Guern) 27:15; 10 M Jamieson (M45) 27:27

Guernsey’s junior team “Lister’s Lads” consisting of middle-distance runners Gian-Luca Robilliard, Nic Ackerman, Henry Lister and Jack Le Tissier, overhauled early leaders “We haven’t got a name yet” on the final leg to claim relay victory.
The tight twisting nature of the mile long Delancey course made for interesting running as the beaten quartet had Aldershot’s series leaders Joe Morwood and Steph Twell in their line-up.
They were led off by Alex Rowe, whose 5:02 was the fastest run of the day, then extended by Morwood’s 5:07.
Ulrike Maisch was next up for the leaders as Lister cut into their lead before Le Tissier swept past Twell, whose time of 5:50 was quickest amongst the women and whose team were a comfortable second and leading mixed quartet.
Deep in the field on the last leg, the second-best time among the women was given to local 15-year-old Eleanor Jamieson, as the course was said to have proved popular with runners and spectators alike.
Overall (4x1M): 1 Lister’s Lads 21:27 (G Robilliard 5:11, N Ackerman 5:42, H Lister 5:27, J Le Tissier 5:07); 2 We don’t have a team name yet 22:05 (A Rowe 5:02, J Morwood 5:07, U Maisch (W) 6:06, S Twell (W) 5:50; 3 Twenty galloping Galpin men 23:16 (Sean Galpin 6:23, Sammy Galpin 5:25, D Galpin 5:19, E Twentyman (W) 6:08)

35 teams completed
Joe Morwood sealed the overall Easter title with a commanding run in the final race but Elle Twentyman upset the form book to edge Twell for the first time over the weekend but Twell took the women’s overall title.
With the opening 8km run with mainly a decent tailwind, the pace was solid as the lead group whittled down to Morwood and local runners Steve Dawes and Dan Galpin by 5km.
First Dawes, then Galpin faded leaving Morwood on his own for the last 2km.
Turning into the wind for the final kilometre and a half, the Aldershot man stopped the clock at 31:20, 12 seconds clear of Galpin, as Dawes took third.
Twentyman had the cleaner start of the leading women contenders with Twell initially struggling to get on terms but was leading past Bordeaux with less than 2km remaining. However, the Taunton athlete overhauled her rival and finished the stronger to beat her 2022 course record with 33:05 as Twell followed in 33:12, well clear of Sarah Roe’s 35:35.

Now in its 68th year, the event has moved around the town and is now held from an office park to the west of the town before venturing out on to the country lanes, Martin Duff reports.
In cool early morning conditions, it was won this year by High Wycombe’s Liam Busby in 52:30, as Sophie Delderfield gave herself an early birthday present as she won the women’s section by over 150 metres in 60:15 the day before her 40th birthday.
Further back Yuko Gordon improved the W70 British age group best of Angela Copson by 23 seconds to 74:20. The Hong Kong marathon Olympian’s chip time of 74:08 will also be listed, as British Masters are now displaying both gun and chip times on their web pages.
Talking about her run and career, Gordon said: “The race went well but my usual even pacing didn’t work over the rural country lanes and my pace varied between seven and eight minutes each mile over the 10. I could hurtle down the fifth and sixth miles but struggled a little over the pavement’s water puddles. The last mile was the fastest at 6:58, in a desperate dash for sub-74, but missed it.
“This was my pre-London Marathon sharpener, where I hope to improve my London time from 2021 when I missed the W70 world record by 43 seconds.
My running career is long, only because time flies so fast. I started late at age 27 and stopped for 15 years and then returned properly not long before my 65th. I am a better runner now than ever because I have time and less distraction: no more work and my kids have left home and, for the first the time in my running career, I am a full-time athlete.”
The World Masters Association still list 3:35:29 by German Helga Miketta from Essen in 2013 as the world W70 best.
On these times, Gordon said: “World masters road records are in a mess. Just a British record is fine by me. Jeanne Rice ran 3:24:47 (chip time) in Berlin 2019, which is what I regard as the world best. I ran 3:19 at the same race that year but I was nearly 69 after which I had a long Covid break.”
The British record is Gordon’s 3:30:33 (3:25:30 chip) from London last year and she pleads that chip times only should be used for older athletes.
