After the controversy of round two in the Midweek Road Race League, Division One running clubs had only the action to deal with in their latest event.
The event at Watford last time out was declared null after a number of the field were sent off course in error.
Round three had no such problems, with host club Orion Harriers missing out on the win on the night as St Albans Striders took that honour.
Behind them were North Herts Road Runners and Fairlands Valley Spartans.
The Squirrels took third at the Chingford-based event while the Spartans were sixth, the same positions both hold overall with one round to go.
The NHRR women again had the individual winner, Katie Harbon taking the plaudits there, while Rhia Botha (11th), Rachel Arnott (16th) and Jane Clarke (20th) also made the top 20 out of 129 runners.
Spartans' top three were Yuko Gordon (49th), Marie Colucci (58th) and Tracy Pez (60th).
Across in the men's race, Mike Roberts (14th) and Tom Barclay (16th) of NHRR were joined by Kirk Ndugu of FVS in making the top 20.
There were a total of 212 in the male field.
The teams head to Trent Park on July 4 for the fourth round.
Spartans also had a team at the Eastern Masters AC veterans' fixture on the track.
The ladies' achievements included a win in the relay with a squad featuring Karen Dodsworth, Monica Brown, Marian Morley and Christine Lathwell.
The FVS men were third and also had a relay win with Andrew Patterson, Paul Shelley, Steve Mayfield and Jonathan Parr bringing the baton home first.
There were two top 10 finishes at Stevenage Parkrun, Ashley Johnson the first woman and ninth overall, one second behind William Morley in eighth.
There were 32 Spartans at Stevenage and 45 in total at parkruns.
Stevenage Phoenix's exploits this week were dominated by a 70-mile ultra completed by club coach Chris Leigh - The Wall.
This took runners along Hadrian's Wall from Carlisle to Newcastle, starting in a wet Cumbria at 6:50am.
The weather didn't really improve throughout the day and blisters on both feet made progress slow from mile 40 on.
There was plenty to see though, including the fort at Birdoswald where there was some welcome refreshments to be bought, and although the total elevation of 4,500 feet was not that hilly, most came in a short eight-mile stretch.
The final four miles of the route travelled along the Tyne, passing under Newcastle’s bridges, before heading across the Millennium Bridge for the finish line.
Leigh pushed on at the end to complete his 121st marathon/ultra in 18:59:11.
The Salomon Trail Marathon of Wales attracted Lewis Green to Snowdonia.
The marathon used a combination of fully marked single track, forest paths and road trails, climbing 1,200m.
Green finished in 5:21:04.
The Owl Challenge was a timed-event at Salcey Forest that ran into darkness, meaning head torches were necessary for father and son team Martin and Alex.
A late start didn't help matters but they clocked up five laps to cover a total of of 17.5 miles in 5:13:19.
