Five Mighty Greens entered the Sid Valley Ring half marathon and Antony Hall knocked eight minutes off his time from last year and came in 4th overall in 1:51:08.

Oliver Goodchild-Horne finished 9th in 2:01:15 and Colin Ryan 11th in 2:09:33. Rob Edwards and Ann Cole finished in 2:44:55 3:43:28 respectively.

Mighty Green Darren Pearce took on the Salcombe Trail Running Challenge and completed the SWCP half marathon in 2:30:00., while junior MG Ben Barnard and his MG mum Rachel took on the Inflatable 5k challenge at Westpoint and met a very colourful MG, Ross Walton.

Rachel then ran the 32Km Devonshire Dumpling and enjoyed the fab route, which started and finished in Budleigh Salterton visiting Mutter’s Moor, Harpford Wood, Otterton and East Budleigh. Fellow SRC member Mark Andow was also running (the 52K route) and enjoyed the Mighty Green company until the first checkpoint where the two routes split. Mark’s challenging route took him from Budleigh to Littlecombe Shoot then inland to Street, Sidbury, Harpford, Otterton and East Budleigh with 2165m of climb!

Sidmouth Running Club was represented by three members who took part in the Blackdown Hills 10k Trail Run, organised by Prosper Events. Christine Farnham finished in 1:03:52, just ahead of her sister Karen, who finished in 1:04:50. Fellow MG, Derek Blackburn finished in 1:14:51.

Closer to home, eight Mighty Greens lined up on a damp chilly Exmouth seafront to compete in The Clinic Maer 10k and half marathon organised by LME Events. Jamie Locke was the first MG over the line in the half marathon in 2:05:42, 18th out of 55 finishers, Stuart Moul finished in 2:17:15 and Gail Goldsmith in 2:41:56-first in her age category.

There were plenty of prizes for the 10k runners, Niall Hawkins knocked 30 seconds off his PB and came in 3rd overall and 2nd in his age category in 40:56, Pete Norman finished in 11th place, 1st in his age category in 47:29, Yasmin Salter was 4th female and 2nd in her age category in 52.50 and Terry Bewes was 1st in his age category in 1:06:53.
