The 10k race was again a sellout with 291 runners.

There was a good pack of three runners at the front with Benjamin Tucker of Belgrave Harriers posting a decent 33:21 to win and Thomas Griffiths of St Helens second in 33:35.

Wesham's Adam Wilding was third in 33:53 having just lost contact with the leading pair.

Tom Crabtree had a great run to come in fifth in 36:23. Dan Hounslea finished seventh in 36:47, clinching the men's team trophy.
