Weekend races and a photo for Steve, Phil, Ray...

The BBC Children in Need Colyton Fiver, which used to be a 10K race but has now been changed to 5 miles, was held on Sunday, 23rd November. The winner was Wayne Stephens of Bideford AAC in 27:32 and 148 runners completed the race. Exmouth Harriers normally have several runners at this event, but on this occasion Lee Russell was their sole representative and was 54th in 37:59.

On Sunday 30th November, the Harriers will be hosting the Bicton Blister, supported by Ironbridge Runner with Helly Hanson. The charity we have chosen to support is the Devon Air Ambulance. There are two important changes regarding this year’s event. First, the venue is Bicton Arena, not Bicton College. Second, as well as the main 11-mile Bicton Blister, there will also be a shorter “Blister Lite” race of approximately 5 miles.

Entry for the Bicton Blister costs £10 attached / £12 unattached, and for the Blister Lite £7 attached / £9 unattached, and both events cost £2 extra for entries on the day.

All members of the Club who are not racing themselves and can help out at the event are requested to contact Roland Young (01395 278455) in advance.
