Battersea event on May 23 sees some fast times over 12-and-a-half laps

Tomer Tarragano and India Weir won the men's and women's A races at the Comeback 5000 event on Friday (May 23).

Tarragano showed the kind of strength he demonstrated in the cross-country season as he blasted away from Cam Allan and Jacob Cann with 250m to go as he clocked 13:32.70 and led 17 men in total inside 14 minutes.

The women's race also saw three athletes battling for the win on the final lap but Weir proved too strong for Lucy Jones and Poppy Tank as she clocked 16:03.27 for a narrow win.
