Banstead's Gary Staines is running back to form in time for April's Flora London Marathon.
After a long break from competition before Christmas while in the United States, the Belgrave Harrier found an extra gear at the last race of the Reebok Surrey League Division 1 season to share gold with Kenyan and fellow Harrier Kassa Tadesse.
Racing in the 10K event at Richmond Park, he finished in a time of 27 minutes 26 secs to boost his preparations for the marathon.
Staines is pictured battling on the shoulder of former UK 10,000 metre champion Jon Solly, who was eventually beaten into third place in a time of 27 minutes 44 seconds.
