TAMAR Trotters’ Jacob Landers and Storm Plymouth’s Charlene Matthews won the main titles at this year’s Looe 10 Miler on Sunday.
The popular race took place in torrential rain, that led to the cancelling of the junior mini miler race.
However, Landers made light of the horrible weather to take victory in a gun time of 1:00.50 (chip time, 1:00.47), which was one minute and 15 seconds ahead of runner-up and last year’s winner Steve Reynolds of Truro.
Falmouth’s Ed Dickinson was third, with Mark Budge fourth and Tavistock teenager Jed Hutchings, making his long-distance debut, taking fifth place in 1:05.19 (chip time 1:05.17).
Matthews claimed the women’s title by nearly a minute, clocking 1:14.38 (chip time, 1:14.33).
St Austell’s Jodie Gauld was second woman, with Truro’s Jo Temple third.
Erme Valley’s Sarah Markwick was first F40, with Looe Pioneers’ Mandy Gibson just finishing ahead of Plymstock Road Runners’ Jane Ling and East Cornwall Harriers’ Hayley Stacey for the F45 top prize.
Alison Engledew, of Erme Valley Harriers, was first F65, while David Engledew was first M60.
Plymstock Road Runners’ Graham Bale claimed the M55 title, with Tamar Trotters runners Steve Baker and Richard Morton winning the M60 and M70 categories, respectively.
