The Dalwood 3 Hills race does what it says on the tin. Starting from the village hall in Dalwood, near Honiton, the race covers ten miles, largely off-road, including three hills - and each hill is 500 feet high! Added to that, there were several dips in water that was particulary freezing this year.
Five Exmouth Harriers were among the 105 runners in last Sunday's race and three of them came home with prizes. Building on the excellent performances she has been putting in over recent weeks, Camilla Sharpe won the women's race in 1.21.32. Finishing 19th overall, she beat second placed Lucy Owen of Bideford by 20 seconds. Judging by her recent form and improvement, this will surely be the first of many individual prizes for Camilla.
Steve Merry won the Male Veteran 50 prize in 1.21.02 (17th overall) and John Perratt was first Male Veteran 60 (42nd). Shawn Lock ran well to finish 10th in 1:17:31 and Dawn Teed finished 83rd in 1:41:53.

Lucy Owen must be fed up with Camilla by now. That's the third time Camilla has come out on top.
