Mustafa Mohamed (Sweden) sprinted clear in the final stages to beat Spaniard Jose Manuel Martinez and Australian Collis Birmingham.

Mohamed, 10th in the steeplechase in Beijing, travelled from Brussels where he competed in the Grand Prix on Friday night. The winning time was 29:10, modest for Mohamed who was content to follow a steady early pace.

Leading British athlete was Chris Thompson (Aldershot) in sixth place with Sheffield's Jon Brown, now using his Canadian qualification, 11th in a decent comeback race after injury.

Kenyan Grace Momanyi was a comfortable winner of the women's race. Controversially left out of Kenya's Olympic team, she clocked an impressive 32:44 n her 10K road debut.

Ian Fisher (Otley) made a winning return to competition after injury in the Leeds Half Marathon yesterday.

Fisher took the lead from the start despite not being back to full fitness and went clear of Scunthorpe-based Salford runner Pumlani Bangani after two miles. He stretched his winning margin to 1:20 at the finish in Millennium Square clocking 69:14.

A good run by Rothwells's Paul Marchant saw him close on Bangani to take an excellent third place in a personal best of 70:40.

Sue Harrison (Leamington) repeated her win of last year in the women's race finishing with a massive margin over Bingley pair Pauline Munro and Lisa Mawer in a time of 79:31.

Olympian Jo Jackson (Redcar RWC) returned to action following her British record in Beijing by dominating the UK 10km Championship at Lee Valley on Saturday.

Jackson, in her last competitive outing of the season, dominated the women's race from the start clocking 45.20 in windy and wet conditions. The win was also enough to clinch the UK Challenge for 2008. Jackson passed the 5km point in 22.31 and went on to finish fourth overall in the race.

Junior Ben Wears (Redcar) was third in the men's race.
