OLYMPIC running brothers Derek and Callum Hawkins took first and second place in the Paisley 10k Road Race.

More than 2500 runners took part in the annual event from Olympians, to club runners to fun runners.

There were 1505 runners competing in the Paisley 10K Race and 1036 taking part in the Fun Run.

Many of the fun runners were sponsored to take part, raising money for charities, good causes and many different sports clubs.

Callum Hawkins, who took part in the Olympics in Brazil in 2016 and Japan last year, was first in the men’s race crossing the line in 30 minutes 15 seconds as Derek Hawkins who was an Olympic marathon runner in 2016, came second with a time of 30 minutes 28 seconds.

Third place was Robbie Ferguson, from Kilbarchan AAC with a time of 31 minutes 14 seconds.

Callum said: “I’m really happy I won especially with Derek taking part as well. I could feel Derek on my shoulder the whole way, but fortunately, I managed to hold him off.”

First place in the women’s race went to Rebekah Russell, from Bellahouston Road Runners with a time of 38 minutes 11 seconds. Second was Jessica Wilcox, a non-club runner with a time of 38 minutes 43 seconds and third was Gemma Rankin, from Kilbarchan AAC with a time of 38 minutes 48 seconds.

Mark Tokeley, Head of Leisure and Community Services at OneRen said: “It’s great to be back. The Paisley 10k and Fun Run is one of Renfrewshire’s biggest outdoor participation events and from the reaction we’ve had from the runners, they were as excited as we were that the Road Race and Fun Run was held again this year.

“It was heartening to see so many runners of all ages and abilities taking part and well done to them for not only running on the day, but for their dedication and time they put in training for the races.

“We’re aiming to make the Paisley 10k and Fun Run bigger and better than ever.”
