TCRC runners ran the 'Tribe 10k for Love' in Long Sutton, which helps fundraise £250,000 for The Tribe Freedom Foundation to increase awareness of modern slavery and create two new homes for UK survivors.

There were no official times as this was a charity event, but members enjoyed running and supporting others to achieve their furthest distance.

Members who took part were Jonny and Jodie Clark, Diane Petchell, Kim Coultard, Lisa Woolley, Teresa, Steve Whitelam with Sarah Melton-Whitelam and Andi Woolley as bike support.

The junior runners had a great week, Ruby Baxter finishing eighth out of 50 girls for Emneth Academy in the March SSP West Norfolk XC championship. This secured her place in the next round in the Norfolk XC championships at Holkham on March 3.

Maisie Macdonald managed to beat 38 other runners at Wisbech junior parkrun to secure first place by 50 seconds, with 12 TCRC juniors taking part on Sunday.

Casey Grange also had a great run, knocking three minutes off her previous time to finish third in her age category with a personal best of 31:10 at the March parkrun.

On Friday, TCRC coach Gary Bligh was nominated for the Roger Green sports award at Wisbech Town Council's unsung hero awards.

Gary was shortlisted for his involvement with bringing sports and activities to the community, making it accessible for everyone no matter of their fitness level, age or background.

Another great achievement for the club in recognition of what the club brings to many people and for Gary personally.
