Liam Parker and Katherine Cubbon repeated their 5km race wins in the penultimate round of the HubPeople-sponsored winter running series at Ramsey last week.

In conditions described as ‘brutally windy’ on West Quay, Parker’s time of 17 minutes 28 seconds was not unsurprisingly slower than his previous best.

Newcomer to the series Euan Wylie was right in the mix for the first two laps of the race, but dropped off the pace on the final circuit to finish fourth behind Mike Garrett and David Garrood.

Cubbon won the women’s 5km race for the second time, while making steady progress in the series was Northern AC’s own Holly Salter who was third female behind Becky Watterson.

The single lap 1.7km race was won by Steve Oates from Becca Kelly and Colin Crooks.
