This is the moment of Britain's oldest runners crossed the finish line of a muddy 15-mile race - with a fellow jogger holding his hand.Albert Miles, 86, was being convinced to pull out of the popular race by a paramedic with just three miles to go.This was until a fellow runner agreed to complete the last leg with him.Albert, from Rayleigh, Essex, had slipped and slid down the muddy course, falling in nine inches of mud multiple times and grazing his nose, legs and arm.He was in a sorry state but was determined not to give up on his fifteenth Benfleet race in Essex which was to be his "swan song".Albert has completed 20 marathons across the UK and US, 22 Great North Runs and 65 half marathons, but he said this muddy track was by far his hardest challenge.SWNS
