All the results have been verified via Newspaper Articles (Journal / Express) or via the Harriers Newsletters.
Refer to Section 6 Newspaper Articles – In the Journal newspaper 25th September 1975 it was stated that “Previous winners of this race have been Martin Thompson three times, John Bermingham and John Shanahan once”, but also stated was that “John Shanahan time of 2hrs 1 min was the previous record.“ This is a little confusing as there is no mention of Paul O’Hare’s win in 1972 (confirmed by G Duffell).
There being only 5 races previous to 1975 not 6 as indicated by the number of winners stated above (Martin Thompson three times, John Bermingham, John Shanahan and Paul O’Hare once), therefore Martin must have only won twice previous to 1975.
As there was no race in 1968 or 1970 (refer to Race History above) and as 1973 is the only year where results could not be found you can conclude that John Shanahan must have been the 1973 winner.
