Byng leads Boston Community Runners home

Members of Boston Community Runners finished off the year by taking part in the Peterborough New Year’s Eve 10k.

On a hard-surfaced course through the beautiful Ferry Meadows, the course was relatively flat in the main.

Over the whole six miles a few ups and downs gave an overall elevation gain and loss of 74 metres.

The runners took in the varied landscapes of meadows, lakes and woodland in one of the largest country parks in the region.

The weather was good and it rounded off a very successful year for Boston’s running club.

Trevor Byng had an excellent run and crossed the finish line in 40.36.

Beth Lines was the next runner home and was right back on form with a strong run stopping the clock on 55.41.

They were followed back by Janet Edwards, coming home in 1:04.17, and Clare Teesdale, who is coming back from injury and covered the distance with no bad after-effects in 1:05.46.

Boston Community Runners offer coached track sessions on a Tuesday evening at the Princess Royal Sports Arena at 7pm.

On Thursdays it’s the club social run with varying distances from Rosebery Avenue’s Peter Paine centre at 7pm.

On Saturdays the club regularly meets up at the town’s parkrun event at Witham Way and on Sundays various members post run invitations for everyone to join in if they are able.

The Boston Community Runners’ RunWalkRun Jeffing group meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from Peter Paine at 7pm, and beginners are welcome to come along and find out more.
