It's a lovely Sunday morning stroll for the flying Harrier

Edgar Sumskis (wearing the woolly hat) on his way to victory in Sundays Frostbite League race.

Originally due to be held in Bourne Woods, an administrative error forced the fourth race in the series to be switched to Peterborough at the eleventh hour.

Despite wearing road racing shoes on the mud bound course, Nene Valley’s Latvian ace won the race by over a minute, and appeared to have barely broken sweat as he crossed the line with no other athletes in sight.

Sumskis covered the 5.25 mile course in a time of 27:29 with runner-up Micheal Taylor from Riverside Runners clocking 28.33.

Theyre off! The start of the junior Frostbite League race.

Peterborough AC have not as yet been admitted to the league, meaning that many of their distance runners represent other clubs in the Frostbite, on a second claim basis.

Two of these athletes were towards the front of the field with Shaun Walton finishing third in the colours of Ramsey Road Runners and Phil Martin coming home sixth in his blue Bushfield Joggers vest.

The ladies made up for the one-sidedness of the men’s race with another Peterborough AC star, Chloe Finlay representing Ramsey, pipping Bushfield’s Tracy McCartney to victory by a margin of just two seconds, recording a winning time of 32:55.

Rachel Gibbs of Werrington was fourth, just ahead of PACTRAC’s Sarah Caskey. Nene Valley’s Emma Tomlinson-McCrae finished 10th.
