FLYERS Southend runners and supporters invaded Brighton in large numbers for their annual marathon weekend.

Saturday saw junior Flyers take part in the Mini Mile races, which were held in atrocious weather.

But Sunday had perfect running weather for the 10k and marathon races.

The 10k, won in record time by Southend's own Adam Hickey with Paul Whittaker fourth, had several Flyers competing - some going for a quick time, others enjoying the sights and atmosphere.

They were cheered on by the Flyers’ very own awesome and vociferous orange army of supporters.

The marathon followed with a large number of Flyers taking part, with many making a debut at that distance.

All finished in good shape, with a whole host of personal bests amongst them.

Runners and supporters then met up in a pub restaurant to swap stories and refuel!
