Ben Connor was in the lead three for the first four of the five laps, but he was out of the firing line as Matt Ramsden also dropped out with a lap to go.
Connor had a personal best of 13:47, but Ramsden was just short of his previous best.
European 5000m No. 10 Hannah Nuttall was the best of the female runners, finishing six seconds ahead of junior Jess Bailey in a personal best of 15:19 to move into equal fifth place in the 2024 Great Britain rankings.

His time has overtaken Innes Fitzgerald as the all-time leader.
