Todmorden Harrier Paul Brannigan took top honours with first
place in the Blackpool Promenade 10 Mile Road Race on Saturday.
Brannigan and
Billy McCarthy of Salford Harriers lead the race out to the 3 mile point by
which point a lead group of 4 runners had formed. Shaun O’Dwyer of Bolton
Harriers then lifted the pace, but the group let him go. At the 5 mile point
Brannigan and road running legend Paul Muller were surprised to see O’Dwyer
step off the course leaving the two of them to race for first place.
Brannigan
maintained a swift pace and by 7 miles Muller was around 100m back leaving
Brannigan with a steady run for home and conserving energy for upcoming
Yorkshire and British Championships attempts.
20 seconds separated them at the finish with Brannigan’s winning time 58
minutes 34 seconds.
