On Saturday 4th September 2010 two Harriers were in action at two different locations, in two very different races. Chris Dupain ran in the Bristol Half Marathon and Les Turner ran in the Saltram 5k Race.
Chris in very wet conditions and despite suffering from blisters to his feet at the eleven mile marker managed to complete the race in an impressive 1 hour, 32 minutes and 22 seconds. This time knocked 90 seconds off his previous best time for the distance.
The first runner to finish the course was Edwin Kipyego in a time of 1-03-08. The first lady was Claire Hallissey of Bristol and West, in overall 35th position in a time of 1-12-02.
The last runner, in 10,964th place, was Ameer Khan, in the MV80 age category, in a time of 4-08-48.
Closer to home in the grounds of Saltram House in Plymouth, Les lined up alongside seventy three others runners to race around the estate over both smooth and rutted paths, amongst the woodlands, where the weather conditions were perfect which matched the scenery. Unfortunately Les felt exhausted before the starting gun but managed to complete the course finishing in 57th place in a time of 27 minutes and 27 seconds.
The winning runner was Afan Humphries of Swansea Road Runners in a time of 15-54. The first lady to finish, Lucy Kelvey of Newquay Road Runners, was 10th overall in a time of 19:27 and the last competitor was Amanda Moxey of Dawlish Coasters finishing in a time of 35-56.
On 8th September 2010 at the Yeovilton 5k [the last of the 2010 series] Roger Rowe, for the Harriers, competed and finished in overall 41st position in a time of 19 minutes and 10 seconds. This effort is a South West Vet's record for a Vet/65 and puts Roger in 4th place in the age category in the UK rankings for 2010.
The first runner to complete the course, on the night, was Dan Cook of Poole AC in a time of 15-22. The first female runner in overall 16th position was Jo Thompson of Team Bath in a time of 17-39.
On Sunday 12th September 2010 three Harriers, Dave Stone, Ray Elston and Kevin Lingard, lined up with the starters for the Ivybridge Beacon Challenge. This is a scenic but challenging multi-terrain race which starts and finishes in Victoria Park, Ivybridge. The course covers around 7.5 miles of woodland and moorland paths and includes the long ascent of Western Beacon with a descent to the finish.

Dave finished in 5th position in a time of 54-01. Ray finished in 70th position in a time of 1-14-17, and despite his qualifying for the seventy year of age banding, took the 1st place in the V60 age category. Kevin finished in 91st position in a time of 1-21-29.
The first runner home was Lee Turner of Torbay AC in a time of 50-52. The first female runner, in overall 47th position was Bonny Collingborn in a time of 1-07-03 and the last runner, Richard Walters of Plymstock Road Runners, completed the course in a time of 1-46-15.
Also the same day Mike Musgrove and Dave Eveleigh of the Harriers competed in the Force 10k race held in the grounds of Powderham Castle. The event, sponsored by Francis Clark chartered accountants, started in the Castle grounds, meandered along a pathway down to Powderham Road, passed the yacht club and the church. A slight incline took the runners up to Powderham woods through which the route ventured before returning to the Castle and the end of the 10k race.
Mike was the 1st in his age category, MV40, finishing 4th overall in a time of 39-02 but admitted though that Peter Vaughan in the age group above, MV45, actually finished two places ahead of him in overall 2nd place. Also racing on the day was the famous Ron Hill who inspired many a person to take up running. Mike felt honoured to actually meet Ron and chat with the great man. Dave finished in 129th place in a time of 55-03.
The first runner to complete the course was James Wellward in a time of 36-54. The first female runner in overall 8th place was Karen Cook in a time of 44-16. Ron Hill finished in 106th place in a time of 54-08 and the last runner home was Tammy Milner in a time of 1-52-18.
