Stephen Mokoka smashed the longest-standing mark in the SA record books, clocking 27:38 to finish second at the Great Manchester Run 10km race in England on Sunday.

Mokoka, who already holds the national 5 000m (13:11.44) and 15km (42:49) marks, improved Matthews Mothswarateu’s 35-year-old record by 22 seconds.

Motshwarateu had clocked 28:00 in Purchase, New York, in October 1980, which was a world record at the time.

Kenyan Stephen Sambu won the race in Manchester in 27:30.
