Athletics: Sarah Webster to contest World 50km Championships

Manx athlete one of seven selected to represent Great Britain

Isle of Man athlete Sarah Webster will be taking on some of the world's best in Asia this coming weekend.

The Manx competitor is set to be involved in the IAU World 50km Championships in Hyderabad, India this Sunday (5 November).

It's the first time India will have hosted the event which will take place on the same day as the 2023 Hyderabad Half Marathon.

Webster is one of seven athletes selected to represent Great Britain at the 50km event.

It comes after Webster set a new British record to win the 100km Anglo Celtic Plate competition in Northern Ireland in April before she made the qualifying standard for this event back on 20 May by taking victory in the 50km Romanian Championships.
