Scott Overall has been selected for the Great Britain team for the Chiba Ekiden Relay which takes place in Japan on the 24th of November. The event is a mixed relay race of six legs of various lengths which make up the full marathon distance. The 25 year old Blackheath & Bromley athlete has been chosen to run one of the 5km legs as Britain attempt to build on the very creditable 6th place achieved last year.

He was delighted with his selection and flew to Ethiopia yesterday where he will train for four weeks with Mo Farah, Britain's number one over 5000 metres on the track last Summer. Unfortunately this means he will miss the National Cross Country Relays at Mansfield in two weeks time.

Scott quickly returned to racing after his exploits at last Saturdays National 6 Stage road relay at Sutton Park where he ran the second fastest time of the day and helped the Senior Mens team to 8th place. The following day he dominated the Cabbage Patch 10 mile road race at Twickenham winning by nearly a minute with a time of 48.28. Only two athletes broke 50 minutes.

He was not the only athlete to run at Sutton Park and then win a road race the next day. At the Lexus Croydon 10km Jane Bradhsaw totally dominated the womens race winning in 39.29, over six minutes quicker than the next woman home and leaving her 25th overall in a field of 460 finishers.

There was more success in the mens race as the trio of Cliff Keen, Gary Cook and Gary Williams finished in second place in the team contest, a commendable result as all are Masters. Cliff was the first over 50 to finish in 10th place overall with a time of 37.06. Gary Cook was the third over 40 to finish in 38.01 with Gary Williams the 5th over 40 in 38.26.

The Club is always keen to hear from people interested in road running and cross country. For adults the best place to start is by visiting the Clubhouse at Hayes on a Wednesday evening from 6.30. Groups of all standards, male and female, train from here, making use of the changing and showering facilities, kitchen and bar. The address is The Sydney Wooderson Centre, 56 Bourne Way, Hayes, Bromley, Kent. BR2 7EY.
