The First Chance 10k - 2nd January 2005 (click here for full results)


One of the more popular races of the year is the end of year 10km hosted by South West Road Runners along the River Exe, starting and finishing at the Quay.

It is traditionally known as the 'Last Chance' but this year was held on January 2, so was re-dubbed 'First Chance'. The race, however, has a limit of 500 entries and, unfortunately for many of our runners, was fully subscribed at the end of November, leaving latecomers with 'no chance'!

Above is a photo of the start... and 10k later Roger R finished in 38:46 for 1st V/55, in 31st place (6th on the age-related scales). Mary took quite a few photos of Harriers competing which you will find below. A lovely sunny day with little wind. Ideal in fact.  Posted by Hello
