Worthing 10k: Report, pictures and all the results

Race director Gavin Stephens said: “The town was rocking, as our community came out in force to cheer on the runners.”

In the men’s race Finn McNally (Brighton Phoenix) won in a time of 31:07, his third victory in this race following his wins in 2019 and 2021.

McNally held off the challenge of Jack Woods (Worthing Harriers), pushing at the 7k mark and creating a 100m gap which he held to the finish.

In the women’s race, Cassie Thorp (City of Portsmouth AC) was the class of the field, winning in 34:37, missing the course record by 30 seconds, which is currently held by Holly Dixon (Cambridge Harriers).

The 15mph winds prevented any super-fast times for the race winners, but the flat course still meant several PBs were achieved by many among the masses.

Crystal Mustchin of Lancing dipped under the 60-minute barrier with a time of 59:08.

She said: “It was another great event and super well organised.

"It’s a lovely route, completely flat and I managed a new PB!

"The fantastic support from locals really makes a difference”.

The race was supporting local charity Care for Veterans, who had a big team presence on the day.

A 98-year-old veteran, Len Gibson, crossed the line in an amazing time of 78:37 minutes with the help of his support crew.

The event will return to its traditional summer date in 2023, taking place on Sunday, June 4.
