British masters excel in Berlin – overseas results

Nigel Rackham sets UK M60 marathon record in Germany while Charles Hicks returns to cross-country racing in the United States

BMW Berlin Marathon, Germany, September 25

Nigel Rackham was first M60 in a superb 2:41:23 and that took four minutes off of Paul Mingay’s previous British age-group record of 2:45:14 set in Valencia in 2019.

Rackham’s PB of 2:32:13 was set in 2015 at the age of 52.

Jon Cross won the M65 event in Berlin and went fourth all-time in Britain with a 2022 UK lead of 3:00:15 but he was just inside three hours with his chip time.

At the age of 43, the 2016 Olympic marathoner Sonia Samuels just missed her PB but went second all-time in the UK W40 marathon rankings behind the 2:26:51 by Priscilla Welch set 35 years ago.

Annette Newton won the W70 race in 4:06:06 but her chip time was almost 10 minutes faster with 3:56:48.
