OXFORD City’s Steve Male and Stewart Thorp secured national titles in the British Masters 10-mile Championships at Oldbury Power Station, Bristol.

Male won the vet 45 category and finished second in the race with a time of 54mins 19secs in wet and blustery conditions.

This followed up Male’s recent successes in claiming the British vet 45 title at 10k and half marathon distances.

Thorp secured the vet 55 crown at Oldbury for his first national title with a time of 63.21 for 30th place overall.

Meanwhile, Oxford City are predicting a new course record when they host the Hanney 5 on Sunday.

Race secretary Paul Grimsdale said: “Mike Hager, of Tipton Harriers, may well obliterate the current vet 60 record held by Gareth Jones (Oxford City) of 29mins 25secs.

“What I felt equally worthy of mention is that of 112 entries so far there are 15 vet 60+ men and four F60+ women, which I feel may be inspirational if someone needs motivating to start running or racing.”
