Three Counties Running Club host Spring Forward Relay

Three Counties Running Club hosted its Spring Forward Relay last week.

The event was the brainchild of club member and run leader Sarah Melton-Whitelam.

The idea was a six-leg multi terrain relay, starting and finishing at Long Sutton Football Club.

The first leg went from Long Sutton FC to Sutton Bridge Hotel (8m), leg two to Wisbech park (9.7), leg three to Sportsman Friday Bridge (3.2), leg four to LSSC (5.6), leg five to Tydd Golf Club (4.7) and the final leg back to Long Sutton FC (6.1).

Some teams covered the six-leg relay with six people, some had one person running more than one leg and one person ran the event as an Ultra race.

• Results:

1 Steve Whitelam’s team (4.46.27): 1-2 Simon Killen, 3 Dawn Ball, 4 Lauren Day, 5 Naomi Smith, 6 Steve Whitelam.

2 Phil Newton’s team (5.03.55): 1 Phil Newton, 2 Michelle Brown, 3 Colin Apps, 4 Sarah Johnson, 5-6 Lorraine Parker.
