ESSEX CHAMPIONSHIPS, Basildon, January 4
Adam Hickey led his Southend club to another Essex title as only Havering’s Callum Charleston, the defending champion, was able to stay reasonably close despite falling and dislocating his shoulder.
It is five years since the 36-year-old won an Essex cross-country title, the same 2020 year that he was second in the Inter-Counties and won the Southern title. That now makes it five senior titles over the country to go with Hickey’s numerous international representative honours.
The senior women were put in a joint race with the under-20 men, so winner Kai Mhlanga, the England 1500m champion and Euro Cross relay international, missed the opportunity of leading them home as 10 men were ahead.
However, at least second placed Kate O’Neil had the Herts Phoenix runner just ahead at the line, albeit 30 metres, or so, down.
In that under-20 men’s race, it was all Chelmsford as Joseph Grange, the 2024 Southern third placer, had more than 150 metres to spare over two clubmates. Defending champion Sam Plummer, who was second in the delayed English National in September, was followed by Will Nuttall and they look a good bet for team honours in the majors this winter.
Elsewhere in the younger age groups, Olivia Forrest, 2024 multiple event champion, comfortably retained her under-17 title, as Brentwood Beagles team-mates Summer Smith and Madison Kindler added the younger girls’ events.

HAMPSHIRE CHAMPIONSHIPS, Botley, January 4
Fairthorne Manor played host as Aldershot runners Theo Doran and Kate Estlea-Morris collected the senior gold medals but their club was notable for its absence from the podiums of the young athletes’ events.
For Doran, it was his first county championship win over the country although he had delivered some success on the track in earlier years.
Estlea-Morris has more of a pedigree since joining from Basingstoke a few years earlier, particularly in Aldershot’s successful relay and championship teams and placed fifth in the 2023 South of England Championships.
Perhaps the biggest winner of the day was under-17 women’s race winner Florence East, who opened out a winning margin of well over a minute on second placed Imogen Edwards to retain her title. A sixth spot in the Inter-Counties was the Portsmouth runner’s best effort of 2024.

HERTS & MIDDLESEX JOINT CHAMPIONSHIPS, Trent Park, Cockfosters, London, January 4
Hertfordshire runners Brett Rushman, Oscar Bell and Tom Butler easily came out on top in this joint championship that was scored separately.
It was the same story in the senior women’s event where Annabel Gummow led another one-two-three for Hertfordshire and it was top veteran Kate Rennie who was a close third behind Zoe Hewitson but the pair were nearly two minutes down on Gummow, who ran a nippy 56:11 in the Cabbage Patch 10, which followed a series of 5km races in about 16:30.

James Kingston leads (Mark Hookway)
Kent Championships, Brands Hatch, January 4
James Kingston, the 2023 English National champion, won his third successive county title with a clear victory at a very cold Brands Hatch.
The 20 year-old first year senior Louis Small, who beat a below-par Kingston at Liverpool in November, held him to midway through the race.
However, the Tonbridge athlete, who was a fine 16th in Britain’s winning Euro under-23 team in December, proved his greater strength over the former English Schools and Inter Counties winner.
Kingston was one second faster than he had been on the course in 2024.
Tonbridge packed six in the first seven to win both six and 12 to score contests with ease with Alex Howard third ahead of South of Thames champion Cole Gibbens.
Initially it looked as if there could also be a Kingston victory in the women’s race as the non-related Naomi Kingston of Blackheath and Bromley looked like she could go one better than in 2024.
However, Rebecca Weston, running her first Kent Championships since finishing second to Emily Hosker-Thornhill in the 2013 under-20 race, proved the stronger.
Invicta’s Weston had finished 33rd in the World Championships that year where Britain took bronze medals but then took a break from the sport until 2019 and now, aged 30, she ran 2:57:15 in the Amsterdam Marathon but should go much faster in London this year.
Rebecca Weston (Mark Hookway)
Kingston, who had been seven seconds behind Weston’s 27th in Liverpool, finished a clear second with Charlotte Young finishing strongly for the bronze.
Last year’s winner Holly Dixon was unable to compete as she was racing in Spain for England over the weekend, finishing in sixth in Elgoibar behind winner Beatrice Chebet.
Blackheath, with Kent League leader Chloe Sharp and Millie Smith, were easy team winners.
Remarkably 61-year-old Clare Elms was first master (W35 plus) by over a minute. She was second scorer in Kent’s bronze medal winning team and she overtook former English National under-13 runner up Morgan Squibb, who is 40 years her junior, in the final mile as the pair completed the top 10.
The closest race of the day was the under-13 boys with Emery Aldridge and Guy Bowers tight finish deemed a tie.
Medway’s Freddie Gibson, sixth in Liverpool, and winner of three Kent Leagues this winter, easily won the under-15 boys race. Alex Dack, a former under-13 and under-15 winner, added the under-20 title and led Invicta to team victory.
Blackheath’s Jed Starvis was first under-17.
Sophie Richmond (Mark Hookway)
The most overwhelming junior winner was under-15 girl Sophie Richmond of Weald Tri who retained her title by more than a minute as Cambridge won team gold as just six points covered the top four.
Under-13 winner Tyla Jade Thomas of Dartford went one better than last year as Cambridge again won team gold.
Blackheath dominated the under-20 women’s race with World Cross-Country 25th-placer Eliza Nicholson leading a clean sweep of the medals after winning under-17 gold last year in the combined race.
Eliza Nicholson (Mark Hookway)
Holly Diprose of Sevenoaks was the leading under-17 this year as Medway took their one team gold of the day.
The event which looked in danger of not going ahead earlier in the winter after previous local organisers were unable to carry on, finally went ahead with special thanks to Central’s Tony Durey and Anoushka Johnson, Tonbridge’s Mark Hookway and Kent County’s Brian Charlton with many masters runners helping with the marshalling.

LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS, Hinckley, January 4
September’s English National bronze medallist Gemma Steel added yet another county title over Burnage Common, to go with her wins in 2020 and 2023. These came on top of a stella career series of successes which included the 2014 European championship.
Dan Hallam won the men’s race to move up from his 2023 second place but there was success for his Wreake & Soar Valley club elsewhere. They had two runaway winners as Shaikira King, the European under-18 800m silver medallist, and Phoebe Langlands took the under-17 and under-15 races by large margins to retain their titles.

LINCOLNSHIRE CHAMPIONSHIPS, Biscathorpe, Louth, January 5
On a thoroughly miserable day with biting winds and misty rain, many runners found the going extremely difficult and things were not helped by the tardy arrival of the portaloos and the coffee and burger van turning round and going away, without trading, to make things worse.
Some runners too did not bother to race and there was no shelter apart from the one solitary club tent that was managed to be erected in the winds.
Some of the very young runners finished their races in tears, because of the conditions but there was no permanent damage as First Aid was on hand.
The stand-out athlete was Lincoln Wellington’s Ellarose Whitworth, the English National under-15 silver medallist, but even she had trouble in the under-17 women’s event. She said: “I popped my ankle before the start and then it felt numb the whole way.”

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE & DERBYSHIRE CHAMPIONSHIPS, Nottingham, January 4
Bulwell Hall played host to the combined championships as the two counties then separated out medallists and in the senior men’s race, Alex Ediker took the Derbyshire title from Notts champion Edward Buck.
Ediker, the 2020 BUCS silver medallist was fourth in this combined outing two years earlier, whilst Buck was fifth in that same race.
The senior women’s event saw Juliet Potter gain yet another Nottinghamshire title after an overall victory in the combined counties race after moving up from third overall in 2024 and was the Masters international’s fourth Nottinghamshire title on the trot.
The young athletes’ events saw Ewan Withnall, the UK Cross Challenge leader, win the combined under-15 race to retain his title.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CHAMPIONSHIPS, Kettering (January 4
Luke Greer had a useful track career on the American College scene prior to the pandemic with a best 5000m of 14:18.64 but, since then, has mainly used parkruns for his outings. Here he took his first county title, although a couple of junior schools’ titles went his way a decade ago.
The Rugby & Northampton club dominated and team mate Megan Stenhouse, who was 12th in the 2024 delayed English National moved up from second last year to make it a club double in the women’s race.

OXFORDSHIRE CHAMPIONSHIPS, held within the Oxford League, Oxford, December 5
The Horspath course with its steep up and then downhill on each lap saw Radley dominate the senior men’s race as Rowan Miell-Ingram, the Euro Trials sixth placer, lead junior brother Quinn, who made that Euro under-20 team and team mate Johnny James to a one-two-three.
It was not so close in the senior women’s race where holder Jess Gibbon, who was 12th in the Euro women’s race, was a class apart with a near three-minute winning margin over top junior Evey Powell.

SURREY CHAMPIONSHIPS, Croydon, January 4
Jack Kavanagh, who had won four Surrey League races in 2024, had a comfortable victory over the rolling hills and mud of Lloyd Park, as a trio of Aldershot men, led by Joseph O’Connell, were left nearly a minute adrift.
However, despite their packing, they were headed in the team stakes by Belgrave Harriers who were led to the medals by Phil Wicks’ sixth spot. The former champion is tied with Bob Treadwell with the most wins, in the championship’s history, with six.
Suzie Monk, who was second in the 2023 Surrey championship, put an end to a recent string of cross-country victories by South of England champion Georgie Bruinvels, as she led her Guildford & Godalming quartet to the team medals.
In the young athletes’ races, Aldershot’s Will Smith upset the Sutton & District party by snatching the gold from five of his rivals. It was Alex Lennon who gave chase for Sutton but Smith prevailed by a few metres at the line.
Aldershot’s Katy Pye, the European under-18 3000m champion, and Poppy Guest, the English Schools bronze medallist, again came good in their respective under-17 and under-15 events.

SUSSEX CHAMPIONSHIPS, Bexhill, East Sussex, January 4
Little Common again played host to the event and Verity Hopkins and Matt Grindrod came out on top on the muddy course.
It was Hopkins first outing since a 2:34:20 personal best in December’s Valencia Marathon and an improvement on her second place in this event, on the same course back in 2023.
It was a similar story for Grindrod, who was also second here two years ago and this time headed team-mate Andrew Green, as their Brighton & Hove club dominated in the team stakes.
In the age group races, Isabella Buchanen, the English National runner-up in September, defended her under-15 title

YORKSHIRE CHAMPIONSHIPS, Ripon, January 4
Lightwater Valley saw Katy Wood move up from third last year, on the same course, to take the women’s race as Angus McMillan came out on top in the men’s event.
It was three in a row for 24-year-old McMillan, the Northen cross-country silver medallist, who had a successful 2018 as a junior when his best effort was fourth in the Inter-Counties.
Wood made it a double for City of York when moving up from third last year.
In the young athletes’ races, the stand out race was in the under-15 boys’ event where English Schools champion Yaried Alem had a narrow victory over defending champion Thomas Thake, who had won 2023 Northern under-15 championships.
