In 1989 Brighton and Hove’s Andy Bristow ran a storming leg at the Southern Road Relays at Rushmoor Arena, setting a course record of 17:07 that has stood ever since.
Several Olympians including Mo Farah have raced the relays, but none have been able to erase Bristow’s record over the 36 years.
Bristow was an established GB international, racing multiple times at the World Cross Country Championships and global track championships, and was clearly a superb road racer, with other performances including a 22:44 PB for five miles in Dublin in 1992.
