Kenenisa Bekele<\/p><\/div>\n

Some 10,000 runners of all ages took part today in the SPAR Great Ireland Run in the Phoenix Park, Dublin in very windy but warm conditions.\u00a0 Among these were almost 1,500 children in the Mini and Junior Runs for five to eight year olds and nine to fifteen year olds respectively.<\/p>\n

The event also featured the SPAR Great Ireland Mile for elite men run on the main road of the Phoenix Park.<\/p>\n

The 10k Run was won by defending champion Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia in 28 minutes 51 seconds, fast running in the high winds. He was challenged for the first 7k by Collis Birmingham of Australia but finally broke away just beyond the 8k mark.<\/p>\n

Second place in 29:08 went to multiple European cross-country champion Sergiy Lebid of Ukraine and world 10,000 metre champion Ibrahim Jeilan was third in 29:18. Stephen Scullion of North Belfast Harriers finished in 7th place and took the Irish national 10k title in 30:15.<\/p>\n

Defending women\u2019s champion Gemma Steel of Great Britain had to settle for second place behind compatriot Lauren Howarth who won in 33:36 ahead of Steel\u2019s 33:49. Julia Bleasdale in third made it a clean sweep for the Britons in 33:53. Linda Byrne of DSD took the Irish title in 6th place in 34:24.<\/p>\n

Paul Robinson of St Coca\u2019s AC in Kildare was a decisive winner of the inaugural Great Ireland Mile coming home in 4 minutes and 14 seconds.<\/p>\n
