Several Honiton Running Club members travelled to Castle Drogo to take part in a very challenging off-road 10-mile race. 

First back for Honiton was Pete Nicholls, who finished 73rd in 1 hour 27 minutes and 47 seconds. Leading the HRC ladies home was Esme Moffett, 82nd in 1:29:16. Howard Bidmead won his age category coming 144th overall in 1:36:57. Rebecca Stevens had a stonking run about 5 minutes faster than last time. She came 133rd in 1:35:47. 

Other HRC runners: 109th Hadleigh Davies 1:31:55, 115th Steve Davey 1:32:37, 181st Judy Davey 1:40:51, 205th Paula Ferris 1:43:39, 208th Pippa Westall 1:44:15, 232nd Clare Melbourne 1:47:13, 255th Rachel Hennessey 1:50:37 and 300th Simon Bates 1:56:29. 

The race was won by Luke Roberts in the amazing time of 1:05:50 and there were 429 finishers. Half of the race entry fee went to the National Trust which has made a spectacular job of renovating the Castle of the last few years.
