There were clear winners of the Dartford Half-Marathon on Sunday.
John Payne, of London-based Victoria Park Harriers, finished more than a minute and a half ahead of the rest of the field, completing the undulating course in a time of 1hr12min07sec.
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.
The winner of the ladies' section opened up an even more emphatic margin.
Harriette Woolley, of Tonbridge AC, was 30th overall in a time of 1:28.16.
Second-placed Amelie Karlsson (Tunbridge Wells Harriers) was more than nine minutes further back in 1:37.25.
Two members of Dartford Road Runners took third and fourth places. Charlotte Wood came home in 1.41:25, followed by clubmate Jo Alexander in 1:42.12.
