Ian Johnson from Kingston-based Stragglers finished third in the Ronhill-Lara Classic 10k race at Oxshott in a time of 32 minutes 41 seconds.

He was beaten only by Stuart Major of South London Harriers in 31:39 and Rich Sipway of Woodstock Harriers in 32:33.

However Johnson is in a good position to win the race series as he was the outright winner of the first event in Nonsuch Park last month.

The final race is at Horton Country Park on December 23.
