On Sunday 7th November 2010 at 10.00 am, a fine dry day for racing, Adrian Kearns, the lone Harrier entrant, lined up amongst the other 218 eventual finishers for the start of the Templer Ten. The race which is always well organised by the Teignbridge Trotters is actually 9.5 miles in length, started at the Passage House Inn at Kingsteignton and returned along the river bank to finish. The course was multi-terrain and followed approximately two miles of road, five miles of fields and paths around Stover Park, and returned across the fields. The route then went back on the road for two miles or so and finished with half a mile on off-road paths. There were also a number of stiles along the course that had to be negotiated and gates that were obligingly opened by marshals.
The eventual winner was Lee Turner of Torbay Athletic Club in a time of 53 minutes and 35 seconds. The first female to complete the course, in overall 16th position, was Caroline Hewitt of the Tiverton Harriers in a time of 1 hour, 1 minute and 11 seconds. Adrian Kearns finished in 25th position in an impressive time of 1-04-49.

Later the same day five Harriers took part in the Brooks Westward Cross Country League at the Plymouth venue. For these Senior Males the course was 9 kilometres in length and consisted of three loops of Central Park Plymouth alongside the Plymouth Argyle Football Stadium, with conditions underfoot, in places, suitable wet and muddy for a cross country race.
The first male runner, M. Jenkins of Bideford AC, completed the course in a time of 30 minutes and 10 seconds.
For Harriers Dave Stone finished in 7th position in a time of 31-35 followed by Jamie Pearson who finished in 43rd position in a time of 35-01. Just two places behind in 45th position was Adam Miller in a time of 35-17. Dave Backway finished in 101st place in a time of 41-27 with Jim Wyatt completing the team in 126th place in a time of 46-38.
