Garden City Runners made the trip north to the other garden city and came away with plenty of successes at the Standalone 10k.
The Welwyn-based running club were in Letchworth for the annual event which this year attracted a field of 1,105.
And despite the fact it starts and finishes at Standalone Farm, this is not a trail race but held over tarmaced roads.
The event also doubled as the Herts County Championships and there was a bronze medal for the trio of Jessica Timmins, Helen Stafford and Rebecca Barden in the ladies' race while Daniel Pudner, James Huish, Peter Harvey and Thom Buzzard took silver for the men.
Harvey was also first in the MV50 category.
GCRs' Tippi Rashleigh said: "Lots of us said this is a tough course and it was warmer than we thought it would be but everyone did really well though, great efforts.
"I enjoyed my first time race at Standalone which was very well organised and I love the GCR spirit."
In total 44 from the club took part but there was a special mention for Dennis Draper, Dawn Redwood and Maureen Steed who were running in memory of Peter Westlake, and raising money for the dementia-friendly Community Café in Digswell.
The trio have an amazing combined age of 221 years which was their fundraising target.
That though has been totally smashed with the latest figure raised being £985.
Elsewhere Samantha Hastie completed the Great Scottish Run, the 10th half marathon of the year in her personal 2023 challenge.
Held in Glasgow, there were some daunting hills to conquer but she managed to come through it and tick off another run.
Katherine Farrell meanwhile took on the Swindon Ultra Trail 50k over a technical course with lots of hills and mud, completing it in seven hours.
A total of 103 GCRs took on parkruns too with 52 of them staying local at Panshanger.
Michael Scutt ran his 100th race at the venue while Willow Gibson was running her 100th in total and Ceri Pollard her 50th
In the ladies' event itself, Katherine Lees was first, Lucy Iles third, Felicity Wadley sixth and Rebecca Barden 10th while Chris Dungate and Bruce Judge were fifth and sixth overall, the former also recording a course PB.
Other Panshanger PBs went to Hiran Fernando (26:51), Viv Brennan (30:02), Alison Paterson (31:23) and Sharon Reynolds (36:07).
Elsewhere Caroline Hale was first lady at Aldenham and Alex Faulkner first lady at Salcey Forest.
Rob Casserley and Daniel Pudner were third and fourth at Horspath in Oxford.
