Central Park Athletics runner Joshua Teece was second in 1:13.48, with Mark Wilkins, of Medway & Maidstone AC, third in 1:15.05

The race, hosted by Dartford Harriers, took runners on a route through the streets of the town and then some secluded country lanes. Some steep hills were encountered along the way with some stunning countryside on view.

There was also a one-mile fun run.

Harriette Woolley, of Tonbridge AC, was 30th overall in a time of 1:28.16.
