In the women's race Joyce Kirui, also from Kenya, came first in one hour, 12 minutes and 49 seconds. Benedict Whitby, who trains in Slough, came third in the men's race. More than 12,000 people took part in the 13.1 mile (21km) run. Many of the runners were raising cash for charities. Participants started at Green Park at 1005 BST and ran through Whitley, along Shinfield Road, past the Oracle and through the town centre. They came onto Bath Road before finishing at Reading Football Club's Madejski Stadium. And just to add, our teacher, Mr Higgs, also took part in the run! !
