It’s looking like Dominic Bradford recorded the fastest time for the Claim 10-Miler run held on the weekend, says Don White of Athletics Yukon.

Bradford posted a time of one hour and three minutes.

White said he estimates about a dozen runners took part in the 10-Miler, though its difficult to say as not all were using the Strava app to record their finishing times. White and his daughter Theresa Murray ran together and completed the course in one hour and 30 minutes.

In a marathon, said the director and head coach of Athletics Yukon, the general goal for top runners it is to finish under three hours.

He said the general goal for runners doing 10 miles is to crack the one-hour mark. Over the years, the top competitors have come in right around one hour, with some running just under and some just over, White said.

He said to his knowledge Dave Brooks holds the record for the race.

Brooks clocked in right around 55 minutes for three or four years back in the 1990s, he said.

The 10-miler was created in the late 1980s as a run to give runners and idea of what it would be like to do a leg during the Klondike Road Relay held every September, he explained.
