Four Honiton Running Club runners made the short trip over the Somerset border for the Forde Abbey 10k.
The race is set in the Forde Abbey Estate with a very scenic route including hills, rocky tracks, and two river crossings near to the end which were very much appreciated on a hot evening.
First back for HRC was Rachel Hennessey in 64th place in 1:02:05, Simon Bates finished in 84th place in 1:06:56, Martin Killick was 116th in 1:11:06, Rebecca Tydd completed the Honiton line up in 137th place in 1:16:37. The race was won by Ed Dickinson in a time of 42:32 and there were 170 finishers.
Coming soon to the local running menu is the Blackdown Beauty on Saturday, July 15. This social run is a fantastic experience, as participants meander through the delightful Blackdown Hills. Entry details available on the HRC website.
