“I think it has become an established Kesgrave event – people look forward to it, even just from people watching it and supporting people running round.

“This year was quite an emotional year as two of our helpers we lost to cancer. Peter Moyes and Adrian Ramsey were huge parts of the fun run.”

The two runners came joint first as neither wanted to beat the other so they crossed the line together.
