Key Information
Biography
[edit]Running for Edinburgh Southern Harriers (now incorporated into Edinburgh AC), Hutton was Scottish National Cross-country champion in 1978 and 1982.
Hutton finished third behind Charlie Spedding in the 10,000 metres event at the 1983 AAA Championships.[2]
He was third in the 1985 London Marathon, completing a British clean sweep behind Steve Jones and Charlie Spedding, and his time of 2:09:16 places him seventh on the UK all-time rankings. He was third again in 1986. Coached by Alan Storey, Hutton won the 1990 race (2:10:10), a clear thirty seconds ahead of the Italian Salvatore Bettiol. By virtue of winning the 1990 race he was classified as the AAA champion and therefore the British marathon champion.[3]
