OTLEY AC's Frank Beresford put in an impressive performance in the Bradford 10k as he prepares for next weekend's Yorkshire Marathon.

He came fourth in 32:42 with Robin Outtersides 15th in 35:12 and Reid Haddow in 49:39.

The winner was Tom Adams (Ilkley) in 31:28 and the first lady was in 26th place overall was Hannah Oldroyd in 36:35.

Otley Stephen Boddy put his own perspective on the race. He said: "A free pumpkin and cinnamon infused espresso had me positively bouncing to the start line and I blame that for my ridiculous first mile which I completed in a swift 6:05.

"Pride comes before a fall and I spent the next five miles 'falling' and I battled home in 45:32 which is bang on average for me."

After 18 years of running, Mark Hall took part in his first full track meeting, the Yorkshire Veterans Track Championships, in Cleckheaton, winning the V55 title at three distances.

His times were 3k 10:06, 73.4secs in the 400m and 2min 33secs for the 800 metres.

Mark said: "My motivation was to have a pop at trying to improve the club records in the three events, but having run in two half-marathons in three weeks my preparation was not the best for running short distances fast.

"Unfortunately, the three events all took place within 30 minutes. The times I recorded were fairly modest and feel with more track work I could reduce them significantly."

Sarah Fuller and her running partner Kate Boobyer took part in the two-day RAB Mountain Marathon, in Snowdonia, winning the ladies team prize, second female and 23rd position overall out of 115 starters.
