The Frank Elford (Mizuno) Autumn Trail Run , an 8 mile off-road race set in Newnham Country Park, just outside Plymouth, was won by Kairn Stone of Newham & Essex Beagles, in 44:12. Exmouth Harrier Shaun Lock came 20th in 52:31 out of the field of 516 runners.
Two of the more mature Exmouth Harriers, V65’s Ray Elston and Jim Wyatt, produced excellent performances at the North Devon 10k. Ray came 53rd in 44:30, a personal best and 1 minute faster than last year, and Jim was 107th in 49:38. 255 runners completed the race which was won by Wayne Stephens of Bideford AAC in 34:25.
Exmouth Harrier Stephen Tancock ran strongly to come 57th in 39:50 in the Newquay 10k, out of the field of 429 runners. The winner was Dave Buzza of Cornwall AC in 32:57.
John Perratt produced another excellent performance for 1st V65 and 67th overall in 45:34 in the Brixham 10k, which was won by Peter Monaghan of Torbay AC in 34:50. 167 runners completed the race.
A superb run in 60:21 earned Harrier Dave Stone 2nd place in the 10 mile Teign Valley Toddle, but was not quite enough to beat the winner, Tom Merson of South West Road Runners, in 57:25. Joe Pascoe also ran extremely well for 4th place in 64:33, out of the 91 finishers.
Finally, Bob Keast, the chairman of Exmouth Harriers, will be presenting a cheque for £250.00, as a donation from the proceeds of the Manor Hotel 10k to the Exmouth Lifeboat Appeal, at 10.00 am on Friday (12th) morning. The presentation will be made on the site of the new lifeboat station (Maer Rocks), with the inshore lifeboat in attendance.
