Athletes had a welcome Easter treat when the Battersea Comeback 5000M returned to the Battersea Park Millennium Park on Sunday. The 5000m races consisted of 12.5 laps of the 400m track, and were run in temperatures of plus 20 degrees Celsius on the hottest day of the year.
This festival of racing featured some of Great Britain’s top runners. The high quality field included the likes of Olympic marathon runner Ben Conner and Mahamed Mahamed, winner of the recent National Cross Country Championships at Parliament Hill Fields. Anton Weatherhead didn’t let the presence of running royalty phase him as he bagged himself a 33 second PB, with a superb time of 15:53:03. This was Anton’s first ever sub-16 minute finish at that distance.
