Honiton Running Club has put a new event on the calendar - the Cotleigh Canter, on Saturday, October 9.

Headquarters are at Cotleigh Village Hall, with the first runners setting off at 10.30am. If you are fairly new to running and would like to work towards a challenge, then the 5k would be ideal.

For the slightly more adventurous, there is the 10k and there is also a 3k fun run which is mainly for children aged nine and over although younger children can run with an adult.

Anyone, of any ability, wishing to try out the route, is invited to join Honiton Running Club members on Monday, September 19, at Cotleigh Village Hall at 6.40pm.
