A rallying cry proved inspiring for March Athletic Club as they leapt up the Frostbite League standings.
After round one disappointment, 35 senior and 11 junior runners helped the club progress in their divisions at Ferry Meadows in Peterborough.
With near-perfect running conditions, the seniors jumped to eighth whereas the juniors stayed 10th overall.
