British Police Championships 2016

The British Police Track and Field Championships were held at the Mary Peters track in Belfast last Thursday with Hazel Smyth of DRC representing Police Scotland in the 5000m. 

Hazel welcomed the challenge and ran a strong race and held form over the last two laps and raced hard to take second place and improve her personal best over the distance to 19.59 

Two days later Hazel took to the roads in Warrenpoint on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland for the annual 10k event. Running strongly and leading from gun to tape Hazel put in an excellent performance in a time of 42.15. During the coming months she will be settling into marathon training but short distances such as these will help Hazel for races later on in the season
