Three Counties Running Club members take part in Peterborough Great Eastern 5k and half marathon in Peterborough

Three Counties Running Club members took part in half marathons last weekend in different locations.

The Peterborough Great Eastern 5k and half marathon saw members take to the streets of Peterborough.

Anna’s Hope is the 5k race which raises money for a fantastic charity. Anna Hughes was diagnosed with a brain tumour in February 2005 and sadly died aged just three.

Her parents up this charity to continue to bring a little hope and magic to other children and young people whose lives are affected by brain tumours.

The race was delayed by 30 minutes due to an incident on the course which didn’t help the runners who were getting cold waiting to start.

Rachael Elliot had a fantastic run to get a sub-30minute PB in a time of 29min38sec, finishing 218th in a field of 713.

Richard Allen and Katie Vargeson ran the Great Eastern Run for the charity Living Sport, which aims to improve health, happiness and well-being of the people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough by supporting them to be active.

First home for the club was Rickie Trundle 1:26.32 PB, Katie Vargeson 1:26.33 PB, Richard Allen 1:29.16 PB, Amy Baxter 1:44.38, Sarah Johnson 1:44.39 PB, Phillip Cooper 1:58.38 and Melvin Green 2:18.46.
