"Well done to all who took part. The winning male was Mike Parsons, completing it in 36 minutes 41 seconds, and the first woman home was Alicia Livingstone in 43:25.

Trudi said: "A special well done to Mike Vernon who came last but he still carried on" He completed in 1.17:50. The 65-year-old had not run since Christmas.

After the fun run a fun day followed which included rides, inflatable slides, people in stocks having wet sponges thrown at them, street surfing, football and musical entertainment including 12-year-old Redley.

Ms Swann said: "It went really well, it was a great success. Everyone seemed to have a great time and there was fun for all the family.

"Everyone gave their time for free.

"The barbecue sold out and everyone worked so hard, especially the grounds team.

"Thank you to everyone for their support and we will definitely do one again next year."

The event has so far raised more than £300 for FLEET, Ms Swann said: "It is still being counted so could be more. I really wanted to support a local charity and felt that FLEET is so important. Everyone knows of someone, a friend or family member, who has needed an ambulance at some time. It touches us all.

"The founder, Norman Trebilcock, works so hard. I have run marathons with him in the past, and I think it is important for the community to support him."
