The increase in temperature for the women's 10k race made it tough on the competitors. Of the 1,700 plus entrants only the winner went under 40 minutes. Most runners were a minute or two down on their best. First home out of the four Wallasey ladies taking part was Vicky Kehoe in 47:17 for 45th place. Other finishers were Nicky Rimmer 49:57 (80th), Rachel Saunders 52:00 (117th) and Nicci Davies 53:58 (163rd).
