Cross-country specialist makes a rare – and winning – appearance on the track as Gabrielle Pinder takes the women's victory.

STAN LONG MILE, Jarrow, June 17

Calum Johnson rarely turns out on the track but had three outings last year, with a best 5000m of 13:45.40 however, these were his first since 2021, when he set his 1500m personal best of 3:52.4.

Now, the multiple English National and Inter-Counties winner has matched that standard with victory in this memorial mile in 4:12.88. It was the first ever outing over the classic distance for the 31-year-old.

In a close race, Gateshead clubmate Matthew Linsley was second in 4:13.58 whilst T20 para-athlete Ben Sandilands, who won his 1500m class at the London Diamond League last year in 3:48.95 and followed with a PB of 3:44.90, took third.

This was in the first of seven races over the classic distance and, in the third, Gabrielle Pinder was the best of the women on show. The 14-year-old English National champion was timed at 4:49.06.
