Marathon runner who finished third disqualified from Manchester race for using car

Jo,asia Zakrzewski, a 47-year-old GP from Dumfries in Scotland, had finished third in the gruelling, 50-mile GB Ultras Manchester to Liverpool race staged on April 7, Good Friday.

A leading ultra-marathon runner has been disqualified from a Manchester race after tracking data showed she was found to have used a car.

Joasia Zakrzewski, a 47-year-old GP from Dumfries in Scotland, had finished third in the gruelling, 50-mile GB Ultras Manchester to Liverpool race staged on April 7, Good Friday.

But she is believed to have travelled 2.5 miles in a car after mapping data found she covered a mile in one minute and 40 seconds, according to reports today.

Wayne Drinkwater, the director of the GB Ultras race, told the BBC it was 'very disappointing' and confirmed the issue had been passed to regulatory body, UK Athletics.

He said: "The issue has been investigated and, having reviewed the data from our race tracking system, GPX data, statements provided from our event team, other competitors and from the participant herself, we can confirm that a runner has now been disqualified from the event having taken vehicle transport during part of the route.
