The event, which has been held annually since 1984, attracts competitors of all abilities on the fast, predominantly flat course that starts and finishes in Wokingham town centre.
The overall winner was James Sullivan with a time of 1:11:32, closely followed by Liam Carter who finished in 1:12:15. Among the women, Emily Roberts claimed first place in 1:21:47, ahead of Sophie Lane, who completed the course in 1:22:30.

The race also featured a Children’s Mini Mile, encouraging young runners to take part alongside adults in a vibrant celebration of community sport. Many local running clubs participated, with supporters lining the streets to cheer on competitors.
