There were some fast times recorded at the Abbey Dash 10K road race, which as usual was one of the highest standard 10k races in the country.

It was also the 13th event in the Wakefield Harriers Senior Runners Distance League.

Mark Bostock was close to his best with the superb time of 30:42, topping the club rankings for 2022 and Daniel Franks was just three seconds off his personal best with his fast time of 31:43.

M45 runner Stewart Knowles became the 11th Harrier this year to break the 35 minutes barrier, with his time of 34:43 and his extended family all did well too.
