Last Wednesday night was the fourth event of the rather excellent Seaton winter 5k series.

Adam Hennessey from Honiton was this month’s winner with a new course PB of 18:46.

The first AVR home was Matt Hewer who, now clearly returning to form, finished third in a time of 19:08.

Next home for AVR was Garry Perratt, fourth overall in 20:08.

The other AVR placings and times were: James Ashforth, fifth, 21:15; Chris Keeffe, sixth, 21:27 and Fran Hodson, setting a fantastic female course record in 23:31.

There are two more races left in the series, being run on the second Wednesday of both February and March.
