Records tumbled on a warm – and fast – day in Leeds for the Jane Tomlinson Run For All 10k.
Many thousands of participants, spectators, and volunteers united together today to take part in one the region’s most popular running events, the Leeds 10K. There was a highly emotional moment at the start of the day as the applause rang out to celebrate the life of Rob Burrow CBE, who lost his battle with MND earlier this month.
Kosgei also smashed the Leeds 10K course record, taking one minute 41 seconds off the record set by Tesfaye Debele in 2013. Runner up Josephat Joshua Gisemo crossed the finish just two seconds later, while Jack Cummings crossed the finish line in third place in a time of 30 minutes 24 seconds. In the women’s race, Heather Townsend took to the finish line in a time of 33 minutes 41 seconds, taking 21 seconds off the Leeds 10K Female course record set in 2023 also set by Townsend.
