The fourth annual Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre sponsored Yorkshire Dragoon Road Race held in conjunction with Billingham Marsh House Harriers was staged on Sunday.

The race which traverses through the villages of Maltby, Seamer, and Thornton was held on a perfect day for running. The only evidence of the previous nights heavy rain was the odd patch of surface water.

From the start Martin Scaife, Chester le Street, took control and he came home in 39.02 removing club mate and on this occasion, spectator, Paul Bentley's two year old course record. Mandale's Paul Lewis easily held onto second place but the third spot was only decided in the last mile with Jefferies getting the better of the Rothwell Harder.
