The September sun shone on an early race start for the Run Jurassic half marathon, which took place on Sunday 25th of September from Burton Bradstock. The event was organised by White Star Running, who had a very efficient operation in place, enabling a very effective and prompt start.
Three Honiton Running Club ladies took on the challenge, which included steep climbs on the coast path to sweeping downhill through farmland, footpaths and woodland. Then came the tough relentless accent up to Golden Cap, which was certainly worth the effort of burning calf muscles and sheer determination.
The route was lined with motivating marshals and morning walkers encouraging everyone. Paula Ferris led the trio home in a time of 2 hours 34 minutes, closely followed by Jennie Sleeman in 2 hours 39 and Rachel Hennessay was pleased to cross the line in 2 hours 46.
The girls agreed: "The views were worth the climb!"
