Ironbridge Runner saves Devon Race Series

New sponsors have stepped in to save the Devon Race Series. The series, won for the past two years by South Devon AC's Dave Severn, had been abandoned for 2005 because of the lack of support. However, Exeter's specialist athletics shop, Ironbridge Runner, have stepped in to back a new, shorter series which has already caught the imagination of local clubs.

Ironbridge Runner will support a seven-race series for 2005, with runners able to count their best four scores.

The series opens with the March Hare 10k at Plympton on March 20 followed by the Bideford 10k on May 22 and the Bampton 10k on June 18.

Round four is the Chudleigh Carnival Six on July 15. The Torbay Royal Regatta 10k hosts the fifth round on August 21, with the Torrington Back In Five listed as round six on September 4. The final round and presentations will be at the Honiton 12k on the 9th October.
