On Sunday 19th September 2010 amongst the one hundred and twenty one starters of the Woodbury 10k Fun Run eleven of the competitors sported the colours of the Exmouth Harriers. Five of those Harriers, including their partners, were from the Dupain family, who are local to the village. For the family members it was quite an eventful event as Emma finished as the first female runner and elder sister Hannah competed for the first time recent birth of her daughter, Niah. Certainly if traditions are upheld Niah Bown is a name to look out for in the future in the world of athletics.
The run was around the pretty Devon village of Woodbury with varied countryside and gradients, certainly more hilly than some runners expected, but staged in ideal weather conditions for racing. The run, organised by Barbara Woolley and her husband Paul, was in aid of the Christian Aid Partnership, raising money for Zimbabwe. Starting at the Woodbury village hall the run took the competitors around Woodbury Salterton and then back to Woodbury to finish back at the village hall.
The first runner to complete the course was Kevin Hawker of the Honiton Running Club in a time of 36 minutes and 23 seconds. For the Exmouth Harriers Mike Musgrove finished in overall second place in a time of 37-03. The other ten Exmouth Harriers followed behind Mike.
Chris Dupain finished in 7th place in a time of 41-32. Andy Kennedy finished in 10th place in a time of 43-34. Emma Dupain, the first female runner, finished in 12th place in a time of 44-35. Ben White finished in 15th place in a time of 45-59. Lee Russell finished in 29th place in a time of 48-45. Hannah Bown finished in 30th place in a time of 49-29. Nigel Dupain finished in 34th place in a time of 50-06. Joan Mason finished in 56th place in a time of 54-23. Les Turner finished in 61st place in a time of 55-27. And finally for the Exmouth Harriers Stan Mason finished in 76th place in a time of 57-45.
