BEN West produced a magnificent performance to finish second in the under 20 race at the British Cross Challenge in Dundonald, Belfast.

The former Bicester AC runner, who still lives in the town, clocked 19mins 7secs over the 5km course, finishing just two seconds behind winner Zakariya Mahamed.

The race also doubled as a home international, with West competing for England.

Meanwhile, Bicester Tri’s Mary Winks represented Team Police in the Halton Cross Country fixture against the RAF, finishing in 40.35.

Clubmate Laurence Blair set a personal best of 1.32.31 at the Winter Windsor Half Marathon.

Meanwhile, records tumbled at the Abingdon 10k.

Both the male and female course times were broken as Milton Keynes runner Tom Dell triumphed in 35mins 6secs, while Abingdon AC’s Chloe Ridewood was the first lady home in 40.19.

Elsewhere, Headington Roadrunners’ John Worth took on the gruelling Montane Spine Race.

He finished the 268-mile event along the Pennines in 155hrs 28mins 51secs, crossing 56th.

Closer to home, Will Downey set a personal best at the Gloucester Half Marathon.

The Witney Road Runner finished in a time of 1hr 23mins 30secs when coming 29th.
