On Saturday 7th December Honiton Running Club members turned out for the Otterton Reindeer Run. This is a challenging 10k multi-terrain race organised by Sidmouth Running Club. Christmas cheer is abundant and many runners choose to adorn a Christmas bauble or two! Even Santa had a crack at the run! Kevin Hawker came about 7th but he was so swift his time and position were not recorded! The rest of Honiton’s representatives were all ladies with Ceri Oak first back having not raced for months. She did amazingly well to come 35th in 47:22. Julie Payne was next back coming 42nd in 48:01. Kathy Layzell enjoyed this race last year so tried it again coming 119th in 1:01:57. Carol Turnham was next back coming 145th in 1:06:10 followed not too far behind by Wendy Williams and Michelle Selley. Wendy came 150th in 1:07:08 and Michelle followed 7 places and 42 seconds later. Runners were treated to a warming mulled cider and mince pie back in the Village Hall after the race. There were 177 finishers.
