On a cooler Sunday 8th August 2010 Sidmouth Running Club hosted the Sidmouth Festival 10k Run with over two hundred runners lined up at the start just above Jacob's Ladder, facing the immediate steep ascent to Peak Hill. At the starting gun the more serious runners sprinted up the hill in an attempt to take the first prize in the one kilometre ascent of the hill to its summit. Beyond the hill lay the relative flat route through Mutters Moor before the course again ascends to Stoney Hill following the footpath and via a dog leg to the summit of Bulverton Hill. Despite the recent long dry period there were muddy stretches and in a couple of places large puddles that needed to be avoided. Along this ascent the great vista of Sidmouth to the east could be experienced. Having reached the top the runners then descended through woods back to Bulverton Bottom and through Graystone Plantations. Finally back at Peak Hill the daunting descent took the runners back to the finishing line at the same place they started some time previous.
The first runner to complete the course was Mateusz Szala of Sidmouth Running Club in a time of 38 minutes and 25 seconds.
The first female runner to complete the course in overall 35th position was Laura Brenton of Southampton RC in a time of 47-26.
The first Harrier to complete the course was Dave Stone in 4th position, taking the second place in the MV40 age category, in a time of 39-35. Although positioning this was one place behind his last years result Dave's time was nearly two minutes faster.
