Coomber knocked almost 90 seconds of last year’s time to win the women’s race in 39:47. Meanwhile Phil Hardaway showed he has made a full recovery from injury claiming second overall, and first senior man, dipping under 36 minutes for the challenging course.

A delighted Coomber said: “I was really pleased to win again. It was my first ever 10k in 2013, so it’s great to see how I’ve improved in a year.”

Hardaway said: “I didn’t think I’d run this well, but I went off hard and just tried to stick with the AA van that was leading the race. It’s a tough, hilly course, but it’s beautiful. It’s so good to be back.”
