Martin Jennings has led the Fenland Running Club charge in two events in recent days.

Jennings was the quickest of their 13 members who took part in the latest round of the Peterborough Grand Prix 5k series, hosted by Eye Community Runners, last Wednesday.

Jennings finished eighth in a field of 310 runners with a time of 17:23, while Stuart Follen and Rod Sinnott both broke the 20-minute barrier with times of 19:20 and 19:44 respectively.

And Jennings was again in speedy form with a ninth-placed finish at the Ramsey Abbey 10k last Sunday in a time of 35:57, which earned him age-group honours in the MV45 bracket.

Jennings was one of four FRC runners to post new personal bests in the multi-terrain event. Sinnott, Gilly Anderson and Lucy Hicks all did likewise.

The club’s veteran ladies also enjoyed success with Maire Irlam the first finisher in the LV50 class and Jane Greenwood taking the LV60 spoils. Nicky Jennings (second in LV40) and Sarah Gauvin (third in LV45) also impressed.

FRC were also represented at the Grimsthorpe 10 in Lincolnshire on the same day.

Ian King was 36th in 1:27.14 and Paulina Zub finished 44th in 1:28.27 – an effort which earned her third place in the LV35 age bracket.

Sally King ran in the 10k at the same venue and was 166th in a time of 1:22.24.

March AC also took part in the Ramsey Abbey 10k.

Justin Elvidge was their quickest performer in 41:06, while Geraldine Larham was the third female finisher overall in 42:00.
