With race HQ and the after-party being hosted by the luxury Marriott Hotel, this was one not to be missed.

Lewis came second overall in a field of 200, an amazing achievement.

Second home for Fenland was Andrew Plume in another fast time of 2:58:02, achieving fifth overall.

Jane Clarke was the first female home for Fenland in 4:12:44 – a 3.5 minute personal best (PB).

The second Rutland spring Half Marathon also took place on Sunday as 794 runners braved the chilly start.

The course was set out to be hilly and multi-terrain.
