A low turnout from the running fraternity started the Felixstowe Rotary 5m run.  Whether it was the 5 laps of 1 mile or the reputation of Bent Hill, there was a reduction of over 20 runners than last year.  What does appear increasingly popular is the 1 hour charity fun run after the main race.

For the Striders, the race saw the ladies claiming 1st team.  Well done ladies!  However after the hour long wait to claim their trophies, they were not only issued with wrong plaques (claiming 3rd Men's team), but had to hand them straight back to be corrected!  Stuart pulled a muscle at about 3.5 miles, and this race saw Richard a relaxed return to racing after his first Marathon.

Thanks to the supporters.  Special mention goes to Richard Fellingham for attempting to push the paddling Richard Nash and Anne Fellingham further into the sea, only to get soaked himself - tee hee!!

The Stowmarket Striders results are:-

There were 68 finishers.
