Fenland Running Club members laced up their running shoes for the final race of 2015 in the Ely Runners New Year’s Eve 10K.

The Ely Runners New Year’s Eve 10K is one of the most popular local races and last year proved no exception with 566 finishers taking their last opportunity to record a personal best in 2015.

Twenty nine Fenland Running Club members were amongst those chasing a PB and Marc Martin, Tracey Howard, Carol Slater-Garner, Neil Bailey, Tracy Farr and Tom Richards did just that.

Although dry and mild, gusting headwinds made Kilometres 6 to 8 draining just before the challenging hill climb to come.

Shane Draper was first home for FRC in 44th place in a time of 39:55 and Katie Ward was first Club lady in 151st place and 46:01.

Ann Trett completed her first race since having her daughter Tilly and made sure of setting Tilly off on her own running career by being the first Mother and Baby-buggy home in 480th place and 1:02:18.
