Avoiding the muddy tracks of East Devon, Amelia Frankpitt ran on very different terrain in Western Australia recently when she entered the Perth 10k.

A 7am start avoided the worst of the heat and the Mighty Green enjoyed the rocky course and was relieved not to come across any snakes.

The Sidmouth Running Club Juniors had a very successful first night back last week in St Johns Sports Hall. The 8-11 and 11+ groups joined together for circuit training.

Organised by leader Sharon Hall, there were 12 stations to strengthen, stretch and improve fitness and it was encouraging to see all the leaders and helpers joining in too.

The younger age group will focus on the ‘FUNdamentals’, running, jumping and throwing whilst the 11+ group will take to the streets of Sidmouth to build on their running abilities.

Please contact Kerry, Junior Coach, on www.sidmouthrunningclub.co.uk if you have someone interested in joining the groups.
