Press Report - Otter Vale and Haytor Heller

7/22/2012

0 Comments

 
Three intrepid Honiton Runners turned out on Saturday, 13th July for the Otter Rail and River 10k run. This is a flattish course but with plenty of mud which started and finished in Tipton St. John. The first runner home for Honiton was Tim Legg in a time of 45 minutes 9 seconds and 18th place. He found it tough going in the early stages due to slipping on the mud and was overtaken by Howard Bidmead. However Tim soon gained his confidence on some harder ground and using it to his advantage he was soon in front of Howard again. Howard finished in 31st position in 47.10. Graham Rooms wore his new HRC vest for the first time and came in 44th in 50.19. There were 117 finishers.

 

The Haytor Heller took place last Sunday and this is a favourite of some Honiton runners. It consists of 6 miles of breathtaking off-road running in the heart of Dartmoor. It has a tough start with the start line being half way up the hill to Haytor Rock. The course is then predictably hilly taking in Hound Tor but it has a fast downhill finale to the finish at the bottom of Haytor Rock. The stony ground makes the terrain tough going but spectacular views make up for this. Bruce Strawbridge led the Honiton runners home coming 44th in 52:33. Howard Bidmead came 63rd in 56:04 and the lady representatives Clare Melbourne and Tracey Strawbridge came 217th and 222nd respectively. Clare finished less than a minute ahead of Tracey in 1:15:42 with Tracey finishing in 1:16:16. There were 257 finishers and Arran Tockwell won the race in 42:04.
