Race Date: Sunday 15 April 2018

This was the 17th running of the Derby 10k, an annual road race organised by Sporting Futures, a local Derby charity helping young people from the area into sport.  Start and finish is Derby Football Club’s Pride Park Stadium, from where runners head into the city centre, passing The Guildhall, Silk Mill and Derby Cathedral en-route.  There’s also a 3k later on in the morning, which 10k participants can enter for free afterwards, should they so wish.

Just under 4,000 people took part in the 10k.  The men’s race was won by Richard Weir of Derby Athletic Club in a time of 31:06.  The women’s race was won by Kate Avery of Shildon in a time of 34:38.  Congratulations to the three Striders who ran, especially Sarah on her Striders’ debut.
