Stevenage's William Levett ran out race winner in a time of 1.12.19 with St Albans Strider Mark Hamer just over two minutes behind in second place.

Striders completed a silver and bronze double after Andy Holt who took silver in the same event four years ago finished third, although he almost never took part in the race at all.

"The Review Half Marathon was my very first race 13 years ago, so it's great to be back again," said Sanderson.
