Our latest UK-wide road running round-up kicks off with the popular Brampton to Carlisle 10 miles in Cumbria.

BRAMPTON TO CARLISLE 10, Cumbria, November 16

The race, billed to be the oldest ten-miler in the UK, can produce some phenomenal times, especially if blessed with a following wind, but today conditions were relatively calm and Ed Bovington came out ahead in 48:34.

It was tight for the minor placings as four more runners were inside 49 minutes led by Marc Scott’s 48:47 which just edged out John Battrick, as Carl Avery and Marc Brown followed.

Things were more clear-cut in the women’s race where Esme Davis enjoyed a comfortable margin of victory over Steph Pennycook, 54:26 to 54:57.

Third place was filled by Border’s top W40 Rachel Brown with 57:32 heading fellow W40 Kate Maltby by over a minute.

However, none of the times will be shown in the ten-mile rankings lists although The Power of Ten will record details on runners’ individual profiles.
