The Birzebbuga 10k also signalled the return of promising athlete Keith Tabone who, despite being absent from the running scene for a number of months, managed to win the U20 category.
Unbeknown to the rest of the field, the Red Bull Birzebbuga 10K also featured Briton Lynn Hughes who in 1967 broke the World Record for the 40 Miles distance on the track becoming the first man to run this distance in less than four hours.
In Birzebbuga he finished the race in just over forty five minutes, enough to win him the Over 65 section as well as beat a number of much younger athletes.
Birzebbuga is situated on Pretty Bay, in the south-east of the island.
