DENGIE 100 Runners Samantha Boshell and Gill Winsor travelled over 300 miles to take part in the Great North Run.

Weather conditions were ideal and the supporters all along the way made the 13.1-mile undulating course extremely enjoyable, with the pair finishing together in two hours, five minutes and 44 seconds.

Meanwhile, Richard Carvey took part in the Langham 10k, finishing in 54m 7s.

There were more personal bests at the Maldon Parkrun from Graham Palmer (21m 38s) and Peter Skinner (26m 29s).
