Press Report - Quantock Beast

7/8/2012

0 Comments

 
Howard Bidmead of Honiton Running Club would have taken part in the Charmouth Challenge last Saturday had it not been cancelled due to the torrential rain which caused landslides and dangerous conditions on the cliffs. Not content to relax for the weekend, he managed to find a nice little race on Sunday up in the Quantock Hills in Somerset. It started and finished at Fyne House, a National Trust estate. The Quantock Beast organised by the Quantock Harriers is 5.7 miles of tough multi terrain running. Amazingly, it was beautiful weather, fine views and with all the recent bad weather as much mud as you would ever want. The race has a downhill start and a downhill finish but other than that there are large amounts of climb through the Quantock Hills.  

There were 72 entrants and the winner was John Firth of Southville Running Club in a time of 38 minutes 24 seconds. Howard was 16th overall in 49:06.
