Three thousand runners took part in the annual event on Sunday, March 22 to raise vital funds for the hospice.
All money raised by the racers will go towards supporting the charity and the work that they do.
This year, £90,000 was already raised by participants before the race began with the final total still being determined.
Mark Bostock was the first across the finish line, for the fifth year in a row, with an incredible time of 31.01.
Upon finishing the race, Mark said: “It was a good race. It was just good to race the clock and just run hard.”
First-time entrant, Jade Dos Santos, was the first female runner to cross the finish line with a great time of 36.21.
Upon finishing, she simply said: “That was so much fun.”
The day also saw the return of the Wakefield 5K and the popular 1K Fun Run all starting from Thornes Park.
All three events have become part of the city’s calendar and for the second year running, all 3,000 collective places were sold out.
Posting to social media, a spokesperson for Wakefield Hospice said: “A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the #Wakefield10K, #Wakefield5K and #1KFunRun.
"It was incredible to see 3,000 runners of all ages take to the streets in support of local hospice care
“Every step taken today helps make a real difference, raising vital funds so Wakefield Hospice can continue supporting local patients and their families when they need us most.”
The Wakefield Hospice 10K will return for its 30th anniversary on March 14, 2027.
