The event, which started and finished at Regatta Meadow, and was organised by local club Riverside Runners, was won by Cambridge & Coleridge AC man Chris Darling.

He crossed the line in 34:15 to finish 37 seconds clear of closest rival Denys Olefir, of Newmarket Joggers, who took victory in last year’s St Neots Half Marathon.

David Hudson, representing Team Bex, was third with team-mate Mark Barry in sixth, once place ahead of the host club’s Paul Oliver.

Cambridge & Coleridge also scooped the team prize with Huntingdon BRJ Run & Tri in second. Team Bex were third.

Rhyse Plummer-Coles (39:48) and Annda Douglas (46:30) were the top male and female performers for the Huntingdon club. Marco Wassersleben (43:15) and Mel Wiffin (46:45) completed their scorers in the team event.

Riverside Runners chairman Sam Windebank said “I’d like to congratulate all competitors and thank the many volunteers who organise and help run this event. It wouldn’t happen without their hard work.

There was success for Riverside in the 2k Fun Run as they provided the first two finishers with Maxwell Sandever (7:02) leading home Frankie Ashwell (7:14).

Ellie Loosely of Huntingdon BRJ Run & Tri was the first female finisher in 8:17 with her brother, James, 20 seconds back as he led home the club’s boys’ contingent.
