Five members of Sidmouth Running Club (SRC) took part in the South West Veterans Cross-country Championships held at Sidford, writes David Millen.
The race, which was hotly contested by a strong field of 50 runners all aged over 35, was over a 6km course comprising 3.5 laps around the rugby field, football fields, alongside the river and through a small section of woodland.
With the recent rains, parts of the course were very muddy, as befits a cross-country course, with a number of twists and turns.
First Sidmouth runner to finish was Naomi Garrick in a time of 32:39.
Naomi was closely followed by Rob Edwards in 33.04.
