In Somerset Last Sunday, at Burnham on Sea, a total of 344 runners took part in the half marathon event organised by the Burnham Harriers Running Club. Heavy winds and the occasional rain hit the finishing times of the competitors but seemed not to affect the three Exmouth Harrier entrants, Mike Musgrove, Adam Miller and Adrian Kearns. Mike and Adam, despite the weather conditions both managed personal best times for the distance.
The first runner to complete the course was Luke Scott of Taunton Running Club in a time of 1 hour, 12 minutes and 55 seconds.
Mike Musgrove finished in 7th position in a time of 1-21-45 with Adam directly behind in 8th position in a time of 1-22-56. Adrian Kearns finished in 14th position in a time of 1-25-56. The last runner, Natalya Bull completed the course in a time of 2-45-16.
The first female athlete in overall 10th position was Robyn Golding of Westbury Harriers in a time of 1-23-09.
In Christow again the same day the sole Exmouth Harrier in the Teign Valley Toddle was Dave Stone. This was a 10.25 mile course of scenic undulating country lanes starting and finishing at the Teign Valley Community Hall in Christow. Fortunately the strong winds and rain subsided just before the start but in places the course was under several inches of water from the over night deluge. The organisers, Teign Valley Running Club, undertook an early check of the course and had to remove several large tree branches, which had been snapped off overnight, before the race could commence.
Dave Stone notched up another victory by completing the distance in a time of 1 hour and 2 minutes.
Isabelle Baraffe of SWRR was the first female runner finishing in overall 20th position in a time of 1-20-39.
