The 2011 Beverley 10k was supported by the B&A Scaffolding 2k fun run from Beverley Leisure Centre which attracted a field of 234 runners including Bertie the Beaver and Roary the Tiger.
There was an excellent turnout by Beverley Athletic Club and Goole Viking Striders juniors who fielded 23 and 18 runners respectively. Goole’s Luke Reynolds won the race in 08:21, more than thirty seconds faster than last year when he finished in fifth place. David Mason and Joe Wardill battled for second place and Mason crossed the line just two seconds ahead of Wardill.
In the girl’s competition Beverley Athletic Club Juniors claimed the first three places with Nicole Dawson finishing first for the second successive year. She was followed by Jessica Chapman and Elizabeth Evans.
