IT wasn't so much a case of a stroll along the Prom for Grange Farm and Dunmow Runners as a pacey run as they joined the 97 teams taking part in the Essex Road Runners’ relay event, hosted by Harwich Runners.
The race involved each runner completing 5km along the promenade at Dovercourt and Grange Farm's team of four finished eighth out of 19 in the senior men’s category.
Winners Ilford finished in one hour four minutes 29 seconds, while Grange Farm's quartet team finished in 1h 13m 48s.
Steve Read ran the first leg in 17m 39s, followed by Matt Webster in 18m 43s, Ashwin Shah in 19m 34s and Dan Reynolds in 17m 52s.
Entries are now open for Grange Farm’s 10km road race at Felsted on July 9.
