Britain’s Dan Lawson won the IAU European 24-Hour Championships in Albi, France, on Sunday, as Sweden’s Maria Jannson took the women’s title.
Lawson completed 261.843km (162.7 miles) to beat Czech Republic’s Ondrej Velicka by just over 3km.

Jannson defended her title after moving into the lead at the 12-hour mark and increased her margin during the night to clock up a European best of 250.647km (155.7 miles).
