AGE UK LEEDS ABBEY DASH 10km, Leeds

THIS event enhanced its reputation as one of the fastest 10km race in Britain as the first 14 broke 30 minutes and the women’s race had 15 inside 35 minutes.

Jonny Mellor won a hard-fought race with Adam Hickey as he ran 29:12.

Hickey was just three seconds back and he edged Graham Rush by a second. Ben Connor and Paul Pollock completed the top five.

Such was the quality that Dewi

Griffiths, who was fifth in the European 10,000m, could only manage eighth here.

Ninety-seven broke 33 minutes, including the leading woman, Eilish McColgan.

The Scot made an excellent 10km debut with 32:52.

Katrina Wootton finished second in 33:21 and Josephine Moultrie was third with 33:35.
