A WELL timed piece of running gave Penryn’s Tony Brewer victory in the Marazion 10k road race.

Chilly conditions greeted the participants who entered the second round of the 2015 Cornwall Grand Prix Series.

This did not deter Brewer though as he set a cracking early pace with Mount’s Bay Harriers runner Peter le Grice, who had won the three previous races in Marazion, and John Scott from the Newquay Road Runners for company.

The latter soon found things going a bit too quickly for his liking and dropped back, leaving Brewer and le Grice to battle for the finish.

Over the last uphill half mile of the race, the Mile High club runner surged ahead and with 400m to go opened a gap big enough to ensure victory in a time of 32:34.

In the team competition, Cornwall Athletics Club won both the Men’s and Ladies events, with the Mile High males pushing their counterparts hard at the end with just six points between them.

Success was had by Helston’s John Telford, who claimed first place in the men’s 55-59 age category.

Katherine Martin, from Mile High, finished second in the ladies 50-54 age group, matching the silver she won at the Storm Force 10 race.

Also picking up the same colour medal was Falmouth Road Runners’ Jackie Cope, who bagged the prize in the 55-59 section.

Medals were also secured in age categories by Richard Pascoe and Nick Ratcliffe, with the Mile High runners taking second spot in the 35-39 and 40-45 races respectively.

Their team-mate Nick Martin finished third in the men’s 50-54 age group, while Cornwall AC’s Paul Whear, who lives in Helston, finished 12th overall.

This finish would have more than likely seen him win the 45-49 age category, but this time round he had Scott to contend with, with the England international coming fourth in the main race.
