The second Harwich 5K series race saw nine improved performances and five personal bests for Tiptree Road Runners with the most pleasing result of the night being Barry Dobson's new best of 23 minutes 28 seconds.

He normally helps other people in the club to set their own best times, so it was great to see a result for the club's well-known pacemaker.

At the front of the field, Mark Brewer in 19m 05s was 23 seconds up on his previous time, while Simon Morgan ran 19m 19s to equal his season's best.
