Five Honiton Running Club Members took on a brand-new first edition race event organised by the Exmouth Harriers, entitled The Westdown Wander.
The weather was perfect and the rain that was forecast never transpired, although the coast paths were treacherously slippery, muddy and tough for all. It was a beach start for one mile and then climbing for the first half of the nine-mile course.
Heading to Orcombe point on the SW coastal path past the geoneedle towards Budleigh Salterton, passing Westdown Beacon on the way, before running through East Devon Golf Club and following footpaths and cycleways back to Exmouth. First back for Honiton was Nick Couch, who finished in 1 hour 19 minutes, closely followed by Rebecca Stevens 1:23, Paula Ferris 1:28, Roger Saunders 1:30 and Lyn Grady 1:40.
A well-marked and marshalled course with something for everyone and a running buff for all finishers.
