On Saturday, Sidmouth Running Club’s Christine and Karen Farnham took part in the City Runs Power Run at Exeter racecourse.
The dynamic duo opted to run the quarter marathon option which started with a ‘gallop’ around the racecourse before heading out into Harcombe Woods on Haldon Hill.
Mighty Green Karen said the going was good, and it must have been, as Christine was third lady home in 58:00, 13th place, with Karen only a couple of minutes behind in 1:00:21 finishing in 23rd place out of a field of 62.
The next race in the five-mile series takes competitors to Exmouth on Wednesday, November 2 from 7pm. The course is a fast and flat out-and-back race along the picturesque Exmouth seafront promenade and perfectly suited for runners of all abilities.
