Andy Jennings also completed the final local race of the year two days later at Somerley House. Over tougher terrain than Round the Lakes, Jennings managed 36:51 for fifth place. Simon Hunt ran 40:10 returning from an injury lay-off while Andrew Gillespie (45:15), Joe Price (46:48) and Will Price (53:30) also completed the course.

Ian Habgood’s gruelling festive schedule took him to Broadstone for the New Year’s Day Quarter Marathon. Breaking clear of his rivals on the Gravel Hill inclines, Habgood claimed second place behind Tonbridge runner Huw Evans. Joe Price won the junior prize in the race while Ian Graham and Dave Parsons also turned out.
