Over the course of the end of last week members of the Harriers competed in no less than 4 races, either as individuals or as part of a relay team. Of particular note were the performances of Jamie Pearson, Adam Miller and Hugh Marsden who were members of the Exmouth Harrier relay team who took third place in the Tavistock Town relays. Jamie and Adam then, the following evening, as individuals took the overall 6th place and 15th place respectively in the Chudleigh Carnival 6 Mile Road Race in an impressive times of 33 minutes and 14 seconds and 34-57. Hugh raced three days later and completed in the Haytor Hellor finishing 8th in an impressive time of 44-59.
On Thursday 15th July 2010 on an evening which saw gale force winds and torrential rain the Tavistock Town Relays were held. Only just as the weather conditions were so atrocious that the organisers were considering abandoning the event. However, battling through, 31 teams of four athletes each of whom completed a 1.1 mile lap participated. The first team to complete the event was from Tavistock AC in a time of 20 minutes and 45 seconds.
The Exmouth Harrier team finished in 3rd place in a time of 22-16. Dave Stone completed the first leg in a time of 5-25, and handed over to Hugh Marsden who completed the leg in 5-45. Adam Miller completed the third leg in a time of 5-37 and Jamie completed the team and their race in a time of 5-29.
The first all female team completed the event in overall 15th place in a time of 27-27.
In the evening of Friday 16th July 2010 four members of the Harriers participated in the Chudleigh Carnival 6 Mile Road Race. The race started at the Bishop Lacy public house before heading out of town around the lanes of Chudleigh before retuning to public house for the finish. This is an extremely hilly course. The first athlete to complete the course was Lee Turner of the Torbay AC in a time of 31-14.
For the Exmouth Harriers contingent Jamie Pearson finished first in overall 6th position in a time 33-14. Mike Musgrove finished in overall 8th position in a time of 33-48.

On Saturday 18th July 2010 just the single athlete from the Harriers competed in the Saltash Magnificent 7. The 7 mile race follows a tough, well marshalled and accurate course through country lanes with good views over the Tamar Estuary. In the words of the organiser, "the course is not easy by any means but you will enjoy it".
The first athlete to complete the course was Peter Ellis of Hayle Runners in a time of 39-42. Andy Kennedy for Exmouth Harriers finished in 84th position in a time of 51-19.
The first female athlete was Emma Stallard in overall 10th position in a time of 44-04.
Finally on Sunday 18th July 2010 four Harriers competed in the Haytor Hellor. This popular, well established, moorland race starts below Haytor Rock and follows a hilly circular route before returning once again to Haytor Rock with a fast downhill finale to the finish opposite the middle car park at Haytor. The approx. 6 mile course is challenging with several steep ascents and descents and is generally run across rugged, open moorland, apart from two sections through woodland; firstly below Hound Tor and secondly below Haytor which includes a stream crossing.
The first athlete to complete the course was James Baker of Chichester Runners AC in a time of 40-09. In 8th position, the first Harrier, was Hugh Marsden in a time of 44-59.
