Fenland Running Club put together an enormous effort on Sunday to enter eight teams of seven runners in the 49.7 mile Greater Peterborough Athletic Network Green Wheel Relay.

Thirty-two teams from around the region took part in the relay, which started and finished at the athletics track at Embankment in Peterborough.

The seven stages ranged from 4.1miles (Eye to Newborough) to 8.6miles (Ferry Meadows to Norman Cross).

It enabled club runners of all abilities to be part of the experience, which resulted in 55 club members having a great day.

Repeating last year’s feat, the FRC men’s veteran team (Richard Hammond, Paul Wiegand, Sean Connolly, Gary Bligh, Paul Griffin, Shane Draper and Stuart Follen) and lady’s veteran team (Maire Irlam, Katie Ward, Jay Gilbert, Sarah Gauvin, Mel Trayford, Nicky Jennings and Sam Lyddiatt) both won their categories.
