Amongst them were plenty of TAC runners, with Ben Cole leading the way home, from James Kingston, who had also completed the Footscray parkrun earlier in the morning.

Lucy Reid breaks TAC women's 5 mile road record at Victory 5, at Portsmouth, Sunday 2nd December
Lucy Reid broke her own TAC 5 miles record when she recorded 27.05 when winning the Victory 5. In the process she had maybe her biggest win, in terms of who was behind her as Charlotte Purdue, from Aldershot was nine seconds behind. Purdue ran for Great Britain in last year's World Championships marathon. Lucy' time was 29 seconds faster than her TAC record set at the same race last year. It is also ranked second on the UK 2018 rankings -
