Mike Garrett on his way to his 3rd victory in the Up & Running Northern 10 Miles on Sunday morning (photo John Watterson). In the background are second placed Jamie Newton (white shorts) and third placed Kevin Deakes (blue and yellow). Adam Russell was also in the photo but he faded to finish outside the top 10.

There was a great race between the top three women who filled 4th to 6th places overall. Gail Griffiths (number 7) took the honours from Rachael Hamilton (34). Third place went to Nikki Boyde (almost hidden in shot but with cap). Paul Curphey (36) finished 9th but ahead of Richard Radcliffe (yellow vest) and Steve Partington (47) who ran the race for the first time.  John Watterson will be providing his usual comprehensive coverage of the Northern 10 (and athletics in general) in the Manx Independent which will be published on Thursday morning.
