FIT2RUN member Faye Hussey not only took part in the Powderham 5-miler but she came first in her age group on Saturday, April 5.

On what was a rather hot morning, Faye completed the course in 55 mins.

The first part is particularly hilly, but the stunning scenery made up for it. The multi-terrain route takes runners on a tour of some of the estate's real gems, such as the Deer Park, Belvedere Tower, American Garden and Old Plantation, starting and finishing in the castle's courtyard.

A well-organised event, Faye would definitely recommend this to others.
