Axe Valley Runners Terry Emmett and Joel Seward travelled up to the Cotswolds to run the fast, flat Castle Coombe 10k and both finished in podium positions with Terry in second in a brilliant 33:51 and Joel taking third in 35:21. 

Around 50 AVRs ran the now famous ‘Colydog’ Strava art route around Colyton and Colyford in aid of BBC’s Children in Need and in memory of Tim and Amie Sibley’s collie, Rosie.   

A massive £334 has been raised so far for the charity and a great evening finished with fish and chips and a drink at the Kingfisher. 

With Seaton parkrun cancelled, many took the opportunity for a spot of parkrun tourism with AVRs at Exeter Riverside, Killerton, Exmouth, Haldon Forest, Frogmary, St Mary’s Bridport, Longrun Meadow Taunton, and Cranbrook. Luke Reed celebrated his 50th parkrun with a PB and third finisher at Exmouth in 17:08.
