Plenty of personal best times were set by Witham Running Club members who competed at the Great Bentley Half-Marathon.

On a flat course, the training of the Witham runners paid dividends as 14 of them set new personal bests (PBs), ranging from an improvement of ten seconds to 15 minutes.

Pete Riley was the first club male home in one hour 23 minutes 30 seconds and Vicky Hunt led the Witham ladies in a PB of 1h 39m 6s.
