Steve Oates and Becca Kelly maintained their 100 percent winning record in the one-lap class of Northern AC’s HubPeople-sponsored winter running league last week.

Rain appeared as sign-on commenced, and although the worst of it had abated by the start of the 1.7-kilometre race at 7.15, the pavements and roads round remained wet.

On the comeback trail, former leading local athlete Allan Gage outsprinted Kelly to finish runner-up in an improved time of 7m 33s.

In the three-lap race, over a measured distance of 5km, man of the moment Ryan Corrin also made it three wins from three starts with a clear victory over Ramsey’s own Liam Parker.

Jess Bryan won the women’s race, taking 12 seconds off her personal best for the Ramsey race.

Finishing ninth overall, her time of 18m 26s was 26s quicker than Katherine Cubbon in 11th spot. Emily Mylchreest was 12th, Becky Watterson 16th and Elissa Wood 17th, all inside 20 minutes.
