Ellis and Allen Shine at Ely 10K
31/12/2010
On the last day of the old year, Braintree's Gavin Allen and Stewart Ellis took a trip to the Fens to join 700 runners in the Annual New Year's Eve 10k.
The very flat course, added to the still and relatively mild conditions, made this an ideal race for a fast time, and both of the Braintree athletes delivered accordingly.
Gavin Allen knocked 4 seconds off his PB to finish in 6th place with a time of 34m 41s, an amazing performance.
Stewart Ellis improved on his best by 69 seconds to finish in 26th place in 37m 25s.
Since dipping under 40 minutes for the first time in the Autumn, Stewart Ellis has gone from strength to strength, but this was the pinnacle of a series of fine performances in the last quarter of 2010.
