Guy Hatton completed the Cambridge Boundary Marathon, his 41st marathon in his 100-marathon plan, with a six-minute course PB.

Chris Bertins completed the Darwen off-road Half Marathon, finishing 13th overall in a fantastic time of 2:18.34, despite tough conditions.

“It was the toughest half marathon I’ve ever done,” said Chris. “When I got there I was greeted with snow falling heavily and wind like I’d never experienced.”

Angela Thompson and Stuart Cragg finished the London Vitality Big Half, thankful the rain stopped before the start of the race.
