Last Sunday saw Honiton Running Club’s own Honiton Hippo and Calf races, through Combe Woods and St Cyres, with plenty of water features.
The race was won by Roger Easterbook of Teignbridge Trotters in 50 minutes 57 seconds and first lady back was Yael Rowan-Wicks in the impressive time of 59:15. Most HRC members were either marshalling or carrying out another duty but quite a few took up the challenge of the event. George Pemberton, who is only 14, was first back for HRC coming 3rd overall in 51:58.
Johnny Bennett followed coming 12th in 59:46. HRC’s first lady back was Anna Drake who was racing for the Club for the first time. She came 59th in 1:16;30.
The Calf race was won by Olly Morris of Exeter Harriers in 11:31 and he was followed closely by HRC Junior runner, Max Spiller who finished in 13:01. HRC’s Mia Morris was 1st female and 3rd overall in 13:11.
