Exmouth Harriers competed in three events over the weekend, but several runners appeared to be preparing for next week’s infamous Grizzly, rather than racing themselves.
Roger Rowe produced another excellent performance to come 28th overall and 1st V60 in 19:29 at the hilly Saltram 5k, as part of his preparation for the Aldershot Relays at the end of the month. The race was won by Kairn Stone of Newham & Essex Beagles in 15:32. 142 runners completed the race.
The Harriers were represented by a single runner at another event, the even more hilly 5 mile Dartmouth Regatta Road Race. This time it was Hugh Marsden, winning the V45 category and coming 10th overall in 31:27 after another superb race. The winner was Mark Cowan of Exeter Harriers in 29:20 and there were 123 finishers.
Finally, two Exmouth Harriers took part in the Bideford 10 Miles Race. 134 runners completed the race, which was won by Mark Jenkin of Bideford AAC in 54:07. Cathy Newman, still in top form, came 1st LV45 & 1st lady (9th overall) in 61:59. Adrian Kearns was 20th in 65:38.
