For the second time in almost two years, the Braunstone parkrun field included Olympians Lisa Dobriskey and Ricky Soos.
The husband-and-wife duo took first and second places at their last appearance at the weekly 5k race, in February 2011, and, not surprisingly, they won their respective categories once again.
Soos took 10 seconds off his previous time to cross the line in 16min 04sec and seal his second win.
The Mansfield Harrier, who competed in the 2004 Olympics in the 800m, recorded a 56-second advantage over his wife, who still holds the women's record time for the course of 16.15.
Dobriskey, herself part of Team GB during London 2012, recorded the third-fastest time run by a woman over the course.
Debutant Simon Allen, of Owls AC, was second overall in a time of 16.33 while Canix's Chris Lockhart, running with two huskies, took third place in 16.58.
The 17-time runner, himself a winner 11 months ago, sealed his eighth top-three finish.
In the women's race, Leicester Coritanian Joanne Bradford secured her second runner-up spot from as many appearances, crossing the line in a personal best of 18.38, a 19-second improvement.
Charnwood's Clare McKittrick, a winner on four previous occasions, ran home in 19.06 to take third.
Harry Wheeler was the first home for the under-15 section, crossing the line in a personal best time of 19.46.
Paul Leaney was the latest Braunstone parkrunner to join the exclusive 50 club, the national group of runners that have completed 50 or more parkruns.
