ASICS LONDON 10km, Westminster, July 10

Andrew Heyes retained his London title as the mass race processed through the heart of the Capital before finishing on Whitehall, Martin Duff reports.

Last year, the 32-year-old Hallamshire Harrier won in 29:25, from Josh Griffiths but this time Heyes had Welsh Griffiths to push him to the faster time of 29:02. It was Dewi Griffiths who chased the Yorkshire man home with a 29:16 clocking as Dan Jarvis was third in 30:26.

The women’s section was headed by Ireland’s Kerry O’Flaherty, the Northern Ireland senior cross-country championship bronze medallist. The multi-Irish international was home in 35:09 as 2:43:38 marathoner Anya Culling was second in a PB 35:25.

More than 7000 others followed the more regular runners home after their start on Piccadilly and their tortuous wind through central London with its multiple U-turns, before the finish near the Cenotaph.
