Conditions were almost perfect at the start of the Paddock Wood half-marathon: still, cool and great for putting quick miles in and hunting down personal bests. And so it proved, as PBs fell for many runners from Holland Sports Athletics Club that had put the miles in over the winter cross-country season.

Well done Rob Jupp who dipped under 90 minutes for the first time (1 hour 29 minutes and 14 seconds), with PBs for Nick Hickman (1:28:08), Oscar Voller (1:23:54), Stuart Brown (1:20:56), Matt Orbell (1:11:32) and Christian Lee (1:11:30). Great to see Jack Woods PB in the half marathon at the front of the field as he came home 9th in 1 hour 7 minutes and 31 seconds. Notable mentions also to Tom Simpson (1:20:14), Tom Thornley (1:17:25), Steve Aish (1:16:57) and a returning to fitness Phil Swinburn (1:18:59) and Steve Mansfield (1:23:58).
