Five members of Grantham Running Club
saw 2018 out in style, participating in the Advance Performance Peterborough
10K on New Year's Eve. The multi terrain event took place at the scenic Ferry
Meadows area of Nene Park. Largely run on hard surface, the course took in
varied landscapes of meadows, lakes and woodland in one of the largest country
parks in the region, with a bouncing bridge adding extra New Year's Eve
excitement to the course. The December weather was kind, with runners enjoying
a crisp and bright morning.
First home for the club was Stuart
Baty, who was pleased to have completed the enjoyable course within 50 minutes,
in a time of 00:49:34. First woman home for the club was Tracy Webb, in a
commendable time of 00:58:23, which Tracy was delighted to note was her fastest
10k race time to date. Next home was Kate Marshall in 01:01:29, followed by
Claire Fritz in 01:05:10 and Julia Hallam in 01:10:25. The GRC runners enjoyed
celebrating New Year at this well organised and engaging race in beautiful
surroundings, and look forward to racing at Ferry Meadows again in the
future.
The race was won by David Hudson of
BRJ Run and Tri in 00:32:22, with Chloe Finlay of Peterborough AC the winning
woman in 00:37:40.
