BURNDEN Road Runner Mel Walker took the Vet 70 best 5k time for 2015 from Jim Rhodes of Radcliffe AC recently.
He achieved this at the Central Lancs 5K hosted by Bolton United Harriers in February with a time of 22mins 25secs which gave him an outstanding age grading of over 80 per cent.
Walker recorded the time when he was at his peak in marathon training and he went on to run a 4hrs 25mins 13secs at a marathon in Wrexham last month.
