Megan Keith set a women’s European 10km record in Castellon – taking one second off the previous best set by Scottish compatriot Eilish McColgan.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 23-year-old finished fourth in the Spanish road race in 30 minutes seven seconds.<\/p>\n

McColgan was sixth in 30:35 as the 35-year-old continues her preparation for the London Marathon.<\/p>\n

Caroline Gitonga came first in 29:34, in front of fellow Kenyan Nelvin Jepkemboi, with Chaltu Dida of Ethiopia third.<\/p>\n

McColgan had reclaimed her European 10km record in Valencia in January – seven days after it was broken.<\/p>\n

McColgan had held the record for more than three years after setting a time of 30:19 in Manchester in 2022, but that was lowered to 30:10 by Belgian Van Lent in Nice on 4 January.<\/p>\n

Keith finished 10th in the 10,000m at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo and was second at December’s European Cross Country Championships in Portugal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
