A 10k run that doubled as the county championships for veterans over the distance brought some success for Fairlands Valley Spartans.
The St Albans Summer 10k on Sunday saw Jim Brown first in his age group, going under 55 minutes for the first time this season.
Robert Wright completed his run in 42 minutes 55 seconds and was well-placed in the 40 plus category.
Most Spartans chose Stevenage for their parkrun outing this week, David Riddell and Grant Ramsay finishing in the top 20.
Mo Warrilow was the 13th female to complete the course while up at Henlow Bridge Lakes, Kelly McHale was first woman and 16th of the 107 finishers.
Stevenage Phoenix had Emma Mead in St Albans, completing the course in 53:35.
The club were also at the Totnes 10k where Garry Wallace and Louise Chancellor still had to face plenty of hills in the off-road race.
Wallace clocked 1:10:06 with Chancellor home in 1:17:49.
Lewis Green and Jodie Kantas opted for a bit further with the Anglesey Coastal Marathon.
Starting in Holyhead, the race took on a variety of surfaces from easy-going paved paths and a small amount of road sections to sandy beaches, fields and single tracks.
The entire route passed through magnificent coastline scenery, a fine locale for Kantas's first marathon.
She managed 5:40:55 while Green clocked 6:14:46.
Helen and Peter Moye of Stevenage Striders had a family day out at the Snetterton 10k, Peter finishing in 43:08 and Helen in 51:13.
There were two Striders at the St Albans Summer 10k, Helder Soares, second in his age category in 39:21, and Scott Stamper, who finished in 55:18.
The Striders alsocelebrated their 10th birthday this weekend with a picnic and family fun day at Hampson Park.
The park will also be the base for the Stevenage 10k on September 17.
Runners are invited to enter with details at www.stevenagestridersrc.org.uk and the event will also feature a free mini mile, suitable for four to 15-year-olds.
Two from North Herts Road Runners were in the scenic expanse of the Derbyshire Dales, and even the rain couldn't prevent Alice Noakes and Andy Grudzinski thoroughly enjoying the whole experience of the Dovedale Dipper.
The event uses a challenging course covering 27 miles of mixed terrain with over 1,200 metres of elevation.
Their adventure under dark skies and a relentless drizzle took them over stiles, through gates and wafer-thin gaps in stone wall as well as up and down slippery slopes.
