Three Exmouth Harriers really did the club proud at the Musbury Castle Challenge, a tough multi terrain race of just under 8 miles around the hills of East Devon with a nasty climb that starts the last quarter of the first mile. Congratulations to Exmouth’s Tony Hatchard who won the race in 49:23, beating 103 other finishers. Also to Hugh Marsden, who was 2nd V45 and 7th overall in 52:54 and Dawn Teed, who was 2nd Vet lady and 54th overall in 73:08. Tony’s fiancée Lisa James, running for Instinctive Sports, was 48th in 70:51.
Trevor Cope represented Exmouth Harriers at the Truro Half Marathon which was won by Jim Cole of Tavistock A C in 1:14:41. Trevor was 350th in 2:09:13 and 469 runners completed the race.
Exmouth’s Steph French ran well to come 545th in 1:50:08 out of the 1732 runners who finished the New Forest Half Marathon. The winner was Lee Rodriguez of Poole Runners in 1:13:31.
The New Forest Marathon was won by Keith Russell of Reading Roadrunners in 2:39:35. Les Turner finished the race in 324th place in 4:17:40. Although his time was a PB by just over 2 minutes, he didn’t run very well and almost failed to finish. 494 runners completed the race. Les ran 4:17:40... more later
