Glyn Davis, the former Carn Runner, made a welcome and successful return to the Cornish road running scene last weekend, storming to victory in the Indian Queens Half Marathon.

The almost traditional hot day in mid Cornwall attracted yet another record field for a Capio Duchy Hospital Grand Prix Race, with 248 runners lining up at the start, an increase of forty five compared to last year.

By the one mile point Glyn, who is also known as Richard, moved into the lead, with Cornwall Athletic Club's Jason Pascoe taking up the chase. Although never building a commanding lead, Glyn maintained a comfortable margin over Jason, eventually winning by thirty six seconds and completing a double victory, by also scooping the Veteran's prize.

With three Grand Prix races remaining, the current Grand Prix leader, Shaun Milford (Newquay Road Runners) and second placed Adrian Ball (Cornwall Athletic Club), did their chances no harm finishing sixth and fifty respectively. However, the real threat will come from the Cornwall Athletic Club pair, Tony Dunn and Noel Kindon. Tony, who is currently injured, needs to run in one of the last three Grand Prix races to quality in the overall standings and Noel must compete in two of the final three events.

The Ladies race at Indian Queens was won by Sharon Daw (East Cornwall Harriers), with the race winner also claiming the first Veteran's award. Sharon now moves into the lead in the overall Grand Prix classification but this could be temporary with Newquay's Stephanie Martin waiting in the wings, needing just one more quality performance to move into top spot.

Cornwall Athletic Club's Men and Newquay's Ladies once again won their respective team races, with both clubs confirming their status as respective 2005 Grand Prix team champions, retaining their trophies comfortably.
