Ethiopian Yehualaw & Yimer earn repeat wins in UK all-comers marks
Yehualaw, denied a women's world record in last year's race by a course measurement error, ran one hour, four minutes 21 seconds for a dominant win.
She was close to Letesenbet Gidey's world record pace early on but had to settle for a new UK all-comers mark.
Yimer was even more dominant in the men's race as he won in 59:03.
The Ethiopian, 25, finished a minute and 56 seconds ahead of Kenya's Alfred Ngeno and the winning time was seven seconds inside Geoffrey Kamworor's UK all-comers record set in Cardiff in 2016.
Yehualaw's performance was 91 seconds inside Edith Chelimo's previous UK women's all-comers mark.
Both winners were well inside the previous Irish all-comers records set by Sir Mo Farah [60:27] and Lily Patridge [71:36] at the Larne race in 2020.
