The last race of the SPAR European Cross Country Championships in Hyères was the longest and toughest, taking in the long loop four times.
Not that any of those difficulties seemed to trouble the sensational Turkish star Ali Kaya, who moved from silver last year to gold this time with a wonderful display as he rubber-stamped his distance-running dominance.
Races of this standard are normally close affairs, but by 3km Kaya was all out on his own.Senior Women (8.08km) : Hassan runs away with gold

Germany made a brilliant start to the SPAR European Cross Country Championships in Hyères on Sunday - as Konstanze Klosterhalfen led them to individual and team gold.
Klosterhalfen, 18, might not have been the name the runners would have worried about most with the presence of her fellow German Alina Reh, the European Junior 3000m and 5000m champion, in the field.
But Klosterhalfen had a successful time in Eskilstuna in the summer, too, as she won bronze in the 1500m and now she moved up to the top of the podium.LIVE RESULTS
