13 HALDON Trail Runners raced at the weekend - with a dozen doing the same race and the other doing three marathons in as many days.

Jo Edwards completed all three days of the Atlantic Coast Challenge, which takes competitors from Padstow to Land's End.

Starting on Friday, she completed the 42.2k from Padstow to Perranporth in 5:22.59. The second leg was also 42.2k and took runners from Perranporth to St Ives Bay, with Jo finishing in 5:45.44. Sunday's final leg was 44.3k long, from Lelant to Land's End, which Jo completed in 7:55.55.

Meanwhile, the club turned up en masse for the 10-mile Templer Ten off-road race in Newton Abbot on Sunday and won the women's team category.

Prizes also went to Lizzy Dyson as the first woman, Anthea Board won the FV60 category and Simon Bunday was the second MV65. Lizzy and Anthea were joined in the winning team by Alice Stuckey and Cat Matthews.

Luke Williams was the first member of the club to finish in 14th place in 1:04.35, with Lizzy 16th in 1:05.28. New member Charlie Brown followed in 33rd place in 1:10.32, with Will Evans 37th in 1:11.09, Chris King 51st 1:16.04, and Anthea 65th in 1:18.01.
