Fenland Running Club’s love affair with the Stamford Striders St Valentine’s 30 km race around the hilly countryside of Stamford continued, with 15 FRC runners completing the challenging course in a field of 599.
Although sunny, it was quite windy and rather cold but despite the less than ideal conditions on Sunday February 14, runners had supporters from the Club at various points around the course and a travelling supporters group on cycles.
Ian King, Neil Bailey, Tracey Else, Tracy Farr and Jon Rowell all achieved personal goals of their longest race to date and Larissa Follen smashed a massive 27 minutes off last year’s time.
Full results: Paul Weigand 172nd 2:23:42; Mel Trayford 187th 2:25:09; Sarah Gauvin 237th 2:30:02; Jay Gilbert 266th 2:33:43; Paul Griffin 267th 2:33:51; Ellen Drew 270th 2:33:59; Ian King 376th 2:46:34; Neil Bailey 423rd 2:52:44; Alan Bird 424th 2:52:46; Jane Greenwood 433rd 2:54:15; Larissa Follen 466th 3:01:17; Tracey Else 479th 3:02:52; Joanne Clarke 497th 3:06:22; Tracy Farr 507th 3:10:05; Jon Rowell 546th 3:20:47.
