Although the Vitality London 10,000 race, is a reference to the track distance event, it is very much a 10K road race.

In mild and wet conditions, Eilish McColgan, who finished 15th in the 10,000m at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, finished in the time of 31:36 for the win.

Lucy Reid finished second in the time of 32:17, while Lily Reid clocked a third-place 32:37 performance.

For Lucy Reid, it was a new personal best. She improved upon her 2023 Valencia 10K time of 32:56.
