Barking Road Runners enjoyed another busy week with round six of the Virtual 5k handicap series and the Chingford League finale's two-mile relay at Central Park.

Following on from the 5k at Redbridge Cycling Centre, where excellent running by a large contingent included an eighth place finish for Jack Nixon and 29th for Joe Stacey in a field of over 300, Barking were out in force once more.

Six teams took part in the relay race, with the men’s A team of Nixon, Gabriele Grimaldi, Stacey and Darren Martin a creditable fifth place against some very strong teams.
