On Saturday, three Dawlish Coasters headed to the South Hams Coast. Debbie Drake tackled the immense 29 mile 'Long Marathon' featuring riverside trails, an estuary crossing (wading/running) and cliff paths. After a gruelling 7:19:04, she crossed the line. Debbie's photo shows the iconic Burgh Island behind. Katie Holman and Nick Little ran the 'Long Half Marathon' on some of the same course with Nick home in 2:55:55 with Katie finishing her longest run to date in 3:01:30.

Over 4,000 runners took part in Exeter's Great West Run on Sunday. While the photos show a lovely sunny day, this proved to be far from ideal for the runners, who tackled an undulating course in hot conditions. Dave Blake (2:20:10) with his medal, then L-R Mel Powell (2:12:12), Phoebe Macbride (2:09:00), Katie Mowll (10k 54:53) and Charles Edmonds (1:35:09). Becky Carpenter shown right finished in 1:59:56.
