SCOTTS MIDWEEK LEAGUE Div 1, Stevenage 10km, Hertfordshire, June 18

Will Lindsay won a close race with Graham Wilkinson in 31:13 as Freya Weddell added the women’s section in 33:24.

Deeper in the field, Sarah Roberts, the World Masters track champion and British W75 all-time fastest over 5km, five miles and 10km, was given 43:45, a time which bettered her own 44:33 from Letchworth last October.

However, and with many runners clocking personal, or age group bests, it was pretty obvious that the course was not as long as the advertised 10km, so the time will not be put forward for ratification.
