A welcome stiff breeze helped the 300 runners on the last 3k of the race as Boston Community Runners were well represented.

Twenty-two members took part in the race hosted for the first time by Spalding’s Halmer Harriers.

The Boston runners put on a super display of running with prizes, personal best times and course personal best times aplenty.
