UK road, June 13-26, 2022
Hallamshire Harriers continued their recent unbroken series of victories in this championship which returned after a two-year Covid break, Martin Duff reports.
Such was their domination in the men’s four-stage event that they wound up with the three fastest four-man teams. Euan Brown took the opening 3.507-mile leg for what wound up as their second quartet and they still led after their second stage.
Thereafter, Andrew Heyes, who was fastest overall in 2016 and the 2018 UK Indoor 3000m champion, shoved in a 16:49 split that was the fastest of the evening.
Connor Milnes who had been quickest in the previous two outings of the event, finished off with 17:42 for third best on the final stage to seal victory for his foursome.
The Hallamshire women made it a double as they retained their title from 2019 and were led off on the first 3.507-mile stage by Lauren McNeil. The English National sixth-placer, from 2020 dominated with a 19:13 clocking that comfortably stood up as the best of the evening. Her club maintained the two-minute lead to the end as Steel City took second.

Helpston Harriers retained their title on this 50-mile race around the outskirts of Peterborough, Martin Duff reports.
They were helped by 2015 Midland cross-country silver medallist Aaron Scott, on the competitive stage 5 from Ferry Meadows to Norman Cross. However, the Former Notts and Lincoln Wellington runner was headed by Hunts AC’s Isaac Ellard, as former Shaftesbury runner Glen Watts was behind.
Ellard, who had moved from Helpston to Hunts is a course specialist here having notched up a dozen recent Park Run victories on the Ferry Meadows.
