Wambrook Waddle & Guernsey 1/4 marathon

5/23/2014

0 Comments

 
On  Sunday 18th May Honiton runners travelled to Cotley to take part in the inaugural running of Chard Running Club’s Wambrook Waddle. This was a challenging multi-terrain 10 run around the fields and woods with a hill or two for added interest as well as plenty of stinging nettles. It was a perfect summer’s day at a great venue with a well marked and marshalled course. Ben Stone was first back for Honiton coming 3rd overall in 46 minutes 11 seconds  and winning his age category. He was followed by Rod Inglis who once again had an amazing run on the back of last week’s efforts at Beer. For the second race running, he was followed by Steve Davey who didn’t feel he had a great run. Rod was 11th in 52:30 and Steve 14th in 54:36. Next back was Bruce Strawbridge who on his comeback race following injury was flabbergasted to find out he had won a trophy for his age category. He came 16th in 56:15. Hot on his heels as he had been for most of the race was Vernon Gillard who finished 18th in 56:27 and only one place behind Vernon was Judy Davey who finished in 57:25 after following both Bruce and Vernon for the entire race. Judy was the sole Honiton lady and was pleased to be 3rd lady overall and also winning a prize for her age category. Next back was Tony Peek who enjoyed the run but had not quite got over a cold. He came 25th in 1:02:24. The Honiton line-up was completed by John Burgess who taking a photograph as he crossed the finish line came 28th in 1:05:25.

There was also the option of a 1k or 2k fun run. Jasmine Stone took part in the 2k run and was first over the finish line. She won a trophy to match her dad’s. All runners concluded that it was a great event and vowed to return next year.

Elsewhere on the same day, Honiton runner Howard Bidmead took advantage of a honeymoon in Guernsey to compete in the  RG Falla Guernsey Quarter Marathon being a 6.5 mile road race which takes place on the West coast of the Island at Vazon Bay. With a 10.30 start the temperature had already reached 20c. The course is an out and back along the seafront which was reasonably flat and making for a fast race. With over 150 runners Howard was pleased to finish in the top 20 with a time of 47m 46s.
