1946 Britain’s Cycling Marathon : 2nd Brighton to Glasgow

Race Summary Credit: Race Programme

The 1946 race ran from 29-July to 3-August and was the second organised by the BLRC (British League of Racing Cyclists). The race programme lists 70 riders but not arranged, or numbered, by team. Instead they are in some sort of seeding order with Ernie Clements getting No.1 and Lance Corporal Edmund Wotek being last man allocated at No. 70. Full start list >>>

A short film of the race is available at British Pathe. However no copies of the results have turned up as yet so the sketchy details below are all we have -
