Slightly different terrain was covered by Tim McMahon and Marco Arcidiacono who took part in the Bury St Edmunds to Clare 18-mile trail event while Alistair Cooke took part in the Yorkshire Marathon.
Andrew Page made his marathon debut marathon at Chelmsford Marathon while Mark and Nikki Coutt ran 26.2 miles at Bedford.
