It was a fantastic weekend of running for Three Counties Running Club Members.
TCRC saw the Lone Ranger, the Dynamic Duo and the Terrific Trio racing in marathons and half marathons in three separate locations along with other members racing different distances at other events.
Steve Arlington started running 12 months ago when he decided to swap his cigarettes for trainers and push his body to the limit and take on his first marathon at Brighton.
Steve decided to run and raise money for Breast Cancer Now charity that is a very close cause to him and his family.
Steve completed his first marathon in a great time of 5:58:37PB.
Next it was the turn of the ladies, the Dynamic Duo, Sarah Clark and Kim Coultard who were also running their first marathon.
Sarah and Kim took part in the first Peterborough Marathon run by Sublime which started and finished at the Marriott Hotel taking in the sights of the cathedral, Nene Park and along the lovely cycle paths of the River Nene.
Both ladies finished strong in fantastic PB’s Sarah in 4:20:50 and Kim 4:28:20.
The Terrific Trio, Phil Newton, Matt Hunter and Aaron Petts travelled to Boston, in Lincolnshire, to race the fast, flat half marathon event which starts in the market place.
Even though the sun was shining it was a rather cold windy morning which didn’t help on the open roads with no shelter.
The men all ran a fantastic race with Phil knocking four minutes off his previous half marathon time to finish with a fantastic PB of 1:41:17 followed by Matt in 1:54:35CPB and Aaron in a great time of 1:54:45.
