On 7th September, Stan and Joan Mason ran their first race since joining Exmouth Harriers, the Lichfield 10k Road Race, Staffs, on a gently undulating course with some hills between 4 and 7 km, run mainly on quiet country lanes. The winner was Thomas Payn of Winchester and District A C in 31:14 and 753 runners completed the race. Stan was 383rd in 52:58 and Joan was 478th in 55:49.
On the same day, Kevin Lingard and his daughter Lissie competed in The Dartmoor Dash, an approximately 5 mile undulating scenic course over tracks, rough moorland and occasional bogs in the very wet and muddy conditions. Neil Holmes won the race in 32:16 and there were 86 finishers, including Kevin who was 50th in 48:26 and Lissie who was 54th in 49:33.
Congratulations to Exmouth Harrier Dave Stone who continued his recent run of outstanding form by winning the Ivybridge Beacon Challenge in 52:50 and beating second placed Dave Severn of Torbay A C by nearly 2 minutes. His time was a new record for the course, 8 miles off road involving a long, uphill climb to the Beacon, then a gravely track back down to the finish. 122 runners completed the race.
