ISTEAD & Ifield runners were out in the cold across the country this weekend competing in a variety of races.

The most popular event closer to home, however, was the Thanet 20 mile road race.

A total of 427 runners completed the course despite the chilly conditions.

Istead & Ifield Harriers had 15 runners and with the race doubling up as the Kent championships, they managed to take away two prizes.

Joe Cumberland was the first club finisher and team-mate Mark Champion won a medal for finishing as the second veteran.

The pair then joined forces with third finishing Istead runner Derek George to help the club win the silver medal for the second Kent male team.

Results:

Joe Cumberland 14th 2:09:15; Mark Champion 16th 2:10:35; Derek George 2:20:58; Andy Archer 2:31:01; Simon Parrin 2:31:33; Alan Cowan 2:37:39; Alison Bell 150th 2:42:14; Lynne Champion 205th 2:53:46; Angela Hames 2:58:43; Barry Bell 250th 2:59:57; Stephen Barnsley 3:08:24; Lesley Irvine 322nd 3:16:39; Margaret Mary Cowan 370th 3:29:34; Helen Fooks 372nd 3:30:52; Jan Giles 413rd 3:59:24.
