Junior Nasradine Haroun was a convincing winner as more than 600 runners took part in the two Kent Spring races around the Ashford countryside on Sunday - and KM Group photographer Barry Goodwin was at the heart of the action.

Haroun won the marathon race with a chip time of 2hr58min51sec - more than seven minutes in hand over Erikas Butkas (3:06.07) and Sam Davies third. Charlotte Broyd (3:20.45) was the quickest lady by a huge margin, ahead of Phoebe Hobbs (3:51.53) and Julie Kitney.
