Ely Runner Torsten Lytken, who is currently living and working in the USA, was 492nd (446th male, 60th div pl) of about 11,000 finishers in a chip time of 3:12:50.

One long stretch along the Delaware river folded back on itself so Torsten could see the winners racing back. He said that the crowds were fantastic and the race had the atmosphere of a street party.
Conditions (8:00 am start) were chilly (9C/48F) and breezy (wind 9-14 mph).

STEVENAGE MID WEEK 5K SERIES, WEDNESDAY 15th NOVEMBER 2006
Ely Runner Graham Chapman was among the 233 finishers in this first of three 5k (3.11m) races in the series. He finished 93rd (85th male/10th MV50) in an official time of 20:02. Graham's first two miles were quite fast (6:14 and 6:04 m/m) but he was slower in the final 1.11 miles. It was mild but times were generally slower than usual due to windy conditions and because the course of urban cycleways included several ramps over and under roads. Graham hopes to be able to sustain his pace in the next race on Wednesday 29th November and improve on his time and position.

Ely Runner Keith Mitchell was 6,433rd of 36,000 runners in 3:40:48. He enjoyed a brisk first half in 1:34:18 and thought he might achieve a personal best for the full distance.

Personal best for improving Daniel Regan
Ely Runner Daniel Regan was 130th of 1,246 finishers in a chip time of 3:11:45, a personal best by 15 minutes compared to his time in the Belfast Marathon in May 2006. His time at Cardiff was also a course personal best by 18 minutes.
The course was on a two lap circuit including sections of Cardiff Bay and the grounds of Cardiff Castle with the finish in the Millennium Stadium. There were some sections with a strong headwind so his fenland training proved useful! The start was very crowded as the marathon started with nearly 6,000 runners in the half marathon.
Conditions were good for running, being about 18 degrees and cloudy.
GREAT EASTERN RUN (HALF MARATHON), PETERBOROUGH, SUNDAY 15th OCTOBER 2006
Personal bests for Steve Tovey and Kevin Fox
There were 4 Ely Runners out of 2014 finishers in this resurrected race. The fast and flat course was almost identical to the last time the race was held in 1995 and had the added bonus of being completely traffic free, leaving Cathedral Square and heading north through residential areas to Werrington before turning round and heading back into the city, finishing on the embankment beside the River Nene. Good organisation and plenty of spectator support more than made up for the lack of scenery. Chip times and positions were:
110th Steve Tovey 1:28:39 (PB by 5:44)
165th Hugh Burton 1:32:08
182nd Simon Jackson 1:32:44
184th Kevin Fox 1:32:49 (PB by 2:02)
The race was won by John Mutai of Kenya in 1:04:35 and Cathy Mutwa of Kenya won the ladies race (9th overall) in 1:12:58.
Conditions were very good for running, being overcast and cool with just the occasional breezy head-wind.
DUCKS & DRAKES 10 MILES TRAIL RACE, WASHINGBOROUGH, LINCOLN, SATURDAY 14th OCTOBER 2006
Ely Runner Graham Chapman was 22nd of 104 finishers in 70:59 on a slow course of mainly water meadows, grassy tracks and about 2 miles of cycleway with 12 gates and 3 bridges to negotiate. On one meadow Graham was intrigued about the effect his florescent yellow club shorts could have had on a nearby and well horned bull. Following early mist, conditions for the race were warm and sunny.
