People flocked from across the country to take part in the 13th annual Wakefield Hospice Road Race, which took a route through the city from Gill Sike Road, taking in Northgate and Westgate before finishing in Clarence Park.
Professionals, amateurs and fun runners took part in the event, which also had a race for disabled athletes.
Dominic Bannister was crowned the winner of the main race after coming in at just 30 minutes 51 seconds.
Mr Bannister, 39, who runs with Shaftesbury Barnet, has been running for more than 20 years and is in training for the London Marathon on April 13.
He said: "It's a great course to run and it's very pleasing to come in first."
Hot on his heels was female winner, 32-year-old mother-of-two Julie Briscoe, who came in at 35 minutes 43 seconds.
It's the second time the Wakefield Harrier has won the Hospice 10K.
After crossing the finish line, she said: "I'm shattered but it's worth it. It's a great feeling to win."
It was a second taste of success for both winners, who had also picked up first place medals at the Ackworth Half Marathon last month.

The wheeled race was won by Jason Gill who completed the course in just 31 minutes 22 seconds.
All of the runners raised money for the Aberford Road hospice, and some had very personal reasons for taking part.
There were 17 relatives running in memory of Sue Thackrah, from Emley, who died at the hospice in February.
Her 23-month-old granddaughter, Isabelle, was the youngest of the group, who together raised more than £1,500.
Mrs Thackrah's daughter Jo Munday, 40, said: "The hospice was absolutely fantastic for mum and this is a way of saying thank you."
Money is still rolling in but the hospice expects to raise in excess of £20,000 from the event.
Fundraiser Helen Rowlands said: "We had the highest number of finishers that we have had for a few years and luckily the sun stayed out for the fun runs as well."
