A total of 28 teams of four took part in the event, put on by TCRC in partnership with Active Fenland, and there were three different relay races.

As well as a 400m relay for under-16s, there was a 600m relay for friends and family and a 1.2k competitive relay.

The winners of the under-16 race were The Wilson children, who were closely followed by Team Marvel...ous - the first TCRC children's team home.

The Wilson Family won the friends and family event, with most of the family members running their second race of the day.

And Ryston Runners saw their two entered teams finish first and second in the competitive 13-team relay, as the first TCRC team came home in third place.

A spokesperson said: "It was a fantastic fun day and even the unexpected downpour didn't put a dampener on the event.

"TCRC would like to say a big thank you to everyone who turned up and supported this event by either running, volunteering, supplying rides and food stalls by BT Roadshow, Finchy's and running gifts by Gotta Run.

"All the money raised from the event is going towards coaching courses for selected members of the club to start an official TCRC junior section."
