The results are in for the 2010 JD Sports City of Salford 10k!

Run on a lively, although slightly breezy September morning, this year’s JD Sports City of Salford 10k had over 800 entrants and proved to be a superb event. Last year’s Male winner, Tom Charles, made it a double coming across the line first in a time of 33.32, faster than in 2009. It was a great effort by Tom and he fought the strong head wind along the water side. The ladies category was won by Kerrie Wood Doyle, with only 10 seconds separating the first three Ladies home.

As always all runners had fantastic support, especially those charity runners, with plenty of cheering supplied by the nominated charities of Macmillan, Help for Heroes, Kidscan and Rathbone. We are grateful to the Mayor of Salford George Wilson, for starting the race with the legendary Dr Ron Hill MBE and Stephen White of JD Sports. The Mayor was also kind enough to present the prizes after the race.

Thanks go out to Salford City Council, Asics and Gatorade for their support in making the event a wonderful race to remember. Also, our thanks to The Lowry Outlet Mall, for all their assistance, and to the Lowry Theatre. We are also very appreciative of the help provided by the volunteers and marshalls, without whom events like this cannot take place, plus the support of all the friends and families who turned up to cheer everyone along.
