A record number of runners took part in this years Ely Standard Grunty Fen half-marathon and fun-run. There were 800 half-marathon runners and around 100 fun-run runners. Our deaf-blind local artist and green belt Pakua trainee Jamie McCullough, who has Usher Syndrome, was one of the fun-run runners guided by his Pakua master, Rodolfo Oliva of Ely. Encouraged by Jamie’s success, Rodolfo says Jamie should try for a 5 km run next.
