Callum Hawkins has delivered another superb performance at the start of Olympic year.
The Kilbarchan AAC athlete is of course pre-selected by British Athletics for the marathon in Japan this summer.
And Callum kicked off his 2020 in quite stunning fashion with a big PB a big PB in the Valencia 10k with a run of 28:02 to finish 11th place in a race full of PBs and records. Race winner Rhonex Kipruto clocked a World best of 26:24.
Callum’s run is the best of all-time by a Scot on the roads over the 10k distance, improving on Allister Hutton‘s 28:13 set back in 1984.
Derek Hawkins clocked 29:26 in the same race in Valencia to make it a good day for the Hawkins family from Kilbarchan AAC.
Callum’s 28:02 takes him to 10th place on the British all-time list for 10k on the road.
