LAST weekend, Fit2Run’s very own Coach Mandi Robson took part in the 'Hampshire Hoppit'.

There are various distances of this event, from 10k to a Marathon, with Mandi opting for the Half Marathon distance.

Mandi would highly recommend it, as it is a very friendly event and so nice to see a different area of the country. It takes part over the Wayfarers Trail and is part of the Watership Down area, with 1400ft of elevation for the half.

Each finisher was awarded a medal and a half-pint glass to claim their free beer at the finish, another reward along the way being the challenging route and the spectacular views. Mandi completed the half-marathon in an impressive time of 2 hours and 33 minutes.

If you would like to join us for a run, we meet every Tuesday & Thursday at The Recreational Trust, Newton Abbot, 6.45pm.
