On Sunday, Exmouth Harriers hosted their second road race this year, the Manor Hotel 10K. There were 200 runners and the race was won by Andrew Chambers of Exeter Harriers in 33:38. Several Harriers were involved in the administration of the race and eleven competed.
The first Exmouth athlete to finish was Cathy Newman, fresh from her triumphs in the European Championships in Regensberg, Germany. Cathy was 13th overall, 1st senior lady and 1st FV45 in 37:27 after another brilliant run, but her age graded performance of 86.91% was the best in the race.
Adrian Kearns was 20th in 38:47, and Andy Kennedy 26th in 39:11. Roger Rowe was 1st V60 and 29th overall in 39:18 and his age graded performance of 85% was the second best performance of the day.
Duncan Parkes came 60th in 43:45. Ray Elston was 62nd overall and 1st V65 after another superb run in 43:50, followed by Mark Thompson, 64th in 44:29. Neil Ferreday was 73rd in 45:40.
Jon Bamsey thought he would never be able to race again, but 17 months after what he thought was definitely his last race, he came 77th in 46:17. Well done Jon, Exmouth’s athlete of the day!
Jim Wyatt was 91st overall and 2nd V60 with another excellent performance in 48:06. Denise Kennedy was 155th in 55:38.
Altogether there were 47 prize winners in 17 individual categories ranging from Junior (15 to 17 years) to 70 plus. On top of this were the eight team awards.
Congratulations to race director Bob Keast for another successful, well run event. Bob would like to thank his team of helpers, including the marshalling, etc. by Exmouth Sea Cadets, Exmouth Air Cadets, Exmouth St John Ambulance and the Police, assisted by several Harriers not running on the day. Also, Harriers Roland Young for setting up the course, Hugh Marsden and Dave Stone who set up the start and finish, Dawn Teed and her timekeeping team, Steve Merry and the results team, and Nigel Dupain who drove the lead car. Thanks to Exmouth Lifeboat Station for manning the drink station, to the Manor Hotel for the use of their facilities and to Kings Garden & Leisure Ltd. for allowing Dave Stone to use their works van for transporting the start and finish banners, finish funnel, etc, to and from the race.
