Bethany Gray, 17, from Hillingdon, won the gadget after taking part in the Moor Park 10k run at Merchant Taylors's School, Sandy Lodge, in September.

The 17-year-old completed the run in 73 minutes and raised more than £260 for the event's charity, the Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre, Rickmansworth Road, Northwood.

She was automatically entered into the draw after the race.

The youngster, a pupil at Bishopshalt School, Royal Lane, Hillingdon, said she was thrilled, as the high-tech tablet was already on her Christmas list.

The event marked its 10th anniversary this year and has broken records, with the total raised topping £50,000.

Plans are already underway for next year's race in September.
