St Albans Striders picked up three wins out of three in the midweek league at the weekend.
The senior men, senior women and vet men all won their races at Trent Park, while the vet women came second in their event.
The tough, 5.2 mile off-road course was hilly and muddy in parts and 223 male runners and 134 female runners took part.
The men were led home by Paul Adams (3rd) and Tom Crouch (4th), followed by Steve Buckle (8th), Steve Cockrell (12th), Graham Smith (15th), David Hope (19th), Peter Crowdell (22nd), Gary Warren (24th), Joe Dunn (29th), Mark Taplin (34th), Cathal Gallagher (36th) and Nairn McWilliams (40th).
The winning women’s team comprised Wendy Webster (3rd), Claire Kremer (8th), Wendy Walsh (9th), Jennifer Conway (11th), Helen Cartlidge (16th), Zoe Lowe (18th), Mercedes Getino (27th) and Deirdre Heydecker (33rd).
The victory, St Albans’ third, leaves the Striders in an almost unassailable position in the midweek league, especially as the final race is on their home turf on July 1.
On Saturday Striders Buckle, Adam Dunajko and Cathal Gallagher secured a one, two, three in the St Albans Parkrun while Jenny Maddocks was the second female and Walsh, with a PB of 19mins 43secs, was the third female to finish.
