THE hot conditions caused runners to revise their expectations in the warmest-ever London Marathon and there were no personal best times for the eight Grange Farm and Dunmow Runners who took part.

James Bosher, however, broke the three-hour barrier, finishing in two hours 56 minutes nine seconds.

Matt Bainbridge completed the 26.2 miles in 3.05.05, ahead of Paul McKenna (3.15.52), Octavia Singleton (3.47.58), Jason Bepey (3.55.49), Gillian Robertson (4.01.14), Hayley Smith (4.18.11) and Gavin Foster (5.43.07).
