Wendy, who was one of 17 MMKAC athletes taking part, won the race in a time of 64.44, a little over a minute ahead of her personal best set earlier this year in Maidenhead.

And to make it a real family affair, brother Dan finished fifth overall in the men’s race, in a time of 58.57, which was enough to secure the M40 prize.

The results for Wendy and Dan saw them both crowned Buckinghamshire champions.
