Dartmoor Vale Marathon

The fifth Dartmoor Vale Marathon was held in glorious autumn weather on Sunday. Although last year’s event was quite tough enough, the course was changed to make this year’s race even hillier and even tougher.

116 runners completed the race, which was won by Peter Norris of Tiverton Harriers in 2:53:46. Dave Stone, the first of the three Exmouth Harriers to finish, produced an excellent performance to take 7th place in 3:04:24. Peter McKeown was 21st in 3:18:07, and Julie Gellender, who also ran superbly, was 1st lady and 33rd overall in 3:25:56.
