CHESHIRE HALF-MARATHON, Siddington, September 14
Omar Ahmed took his second race win of the month with a narrow win over Keighley & Craven’s Joe Hudson in 63:39.
The previous week, the Birchfield Harrier had won the Cardiff 10km, his fifth win over that distance this year, whilst his half win here was his third and second over this distance.
For Hudson, it was his first venture on the roads since 20;21 when a 14:05 in a Battersea 5km was about it, before a lot of races in the United States that included a 28:23.68 10,000 track outing.
So this was the first experience of the half-marathon distance for Hudson, whose 63:43 was a useful debut. This is quite unlike Ahmed who is now a seasoned campaigner over the distance.
It was a similar situation for women’s race winner Poppy Tank, who was also making her debut over the distance. Here, the BUCS cross-country runner up, who also took the students 5000m title this year posted a solid 73:20 to win by almost four minutes.

FRIDAY NIGHT UNDER THE LIGHTS, Battersea Park, London, September 11
Joe Wigfield won comfortably in 13:57 in a promotion that may be called Friday Night Under the Lights but actually again moved to Thursday and 22 men were inside the 15-minute barrier.
The Wirral man ran 13:48 here in February and 13:46 in Monaco 18 months ago and won the Bannister Miles title at Oxford back in May.
Here, only Holland Sports’ Jack Kavanagh could stay with the pace by half-distance but was dropped in the latter stages before taking second spot in 14:08.
A chasing group of five were ten seconds or so down mid-race before Angus McMillan got up to beat Miles Clisham to third spot in 14:15.
The women had earlier competed in the opening race of the evening and it was Hollie Parker who came from behind to win in 15:54. The Brighton Phoenix runner had trailed under-20 Lizzie Wellsted at the half-way-mark, along with Alex Eykelbosch but had a strong second half to win by eight seconds in 15:54.
Parker’s outings on the road have been few and far between after concentrating on middle distance racing where she has set personal bests at both 800 and 1500-metres at 2:01.67 and 4:09.42 this year. Her time was some 74 seconds faster that her on ly previous outing over the distance back in 2019.
Wellsted just took second in 16:02, a personal best by 15 seconds.
