Saturday 21st January – John Cowan Handicap
Gary Johnson broke the finishing tape in first place but wasn’t to know the handicapper had mistakenly set him and Tom Pomfrett off a minute early. However he was still had a really good run, easily recording the fastest time of the day. That left Chris Tomlinson as the ‘real’ winner and top points scorer, over taking Laura in the last few metres.
The second race of the Eric Smith Handicap trophy is the Eccup, Alwoodley Lane Handicap on Sunday 19th February.

Congratulations to Chris T. for winning the John Cowan race in 36.12 a good result indeed. It is good to see Ursula M. back racing after the injury in 40.56 , also Joanna H. ran well in this 5 miles race in 39.55. Gemma H. had a strong efficient stride she and went to the finish line in 40.46 , instead Sarah E. passed me at double speed and she finished in a fantastic 32.40 , Liz Y. ran a super race in 35.01. Well done to everyone .
Looks like Rogan had the better dip for the line with Tom L
I’ve lodged an appeal with the IAAF, awaiting the finish line photos and hundredth split times 😉
Gary did a cracking time!
Agree GrahamL! I started off with Gary and he was out of sight within 1.5km, the man was flying. I’m can only assume this is the effect of having a new baby, I can’t wait until March 🙂
