Following a couple of sub-15-minute 5km runs under the lights in Battersea Park, Dockerill front ran 12:37, just a second slower than the best time from last year. That was set by Dulwich Runners’ anchor here, Edward Chuck who closed in his club in second with 12:45 this time.

The fastest women’s split came in the Mixed team category as Polly Low-MacRae, the former Polly Warrack, ran the middle leg for her Dulwich Runners threesome, with 15:04 which came after running two fastest legs in the Green Belt Relay a few days earlier.

Multi W55 record breaker Clare Elms followed before Elle Freeden closed them in with a two minute advantage over Kent B team. Kent had won the South of England cross-country bronze medallists in the same park earlier in the year.

EMGP SILVERSTONE 10km, Northamptonshire, May 17

It was as you were for Alice Belcher as the eight-race popular evening series got underway and following her clean sweep of the Grand Prix last year began as she left off with yet another victory, Martin Duff reports.

Now with Rugby & Northampton after moving from Wellingborough, Blecher ran 36:54 a minute down on her best set in April.

Haydn Arnall also carried on where he left off last summer with a repeat men’s win with 31:23 nearly two minutes clear of the rest.
