Adam Holland was at the Haytor Heller on Sunday, in Newton Abbott, Devon. This is a very steep and hilly 10K trail race. Adam was 8th at the top of the main incline, but took the lead on the large downhill section, and after changing places with another competitor, kept the lead to finish first in 42:20.
Finally, on Sunday, our chairman, Jeremy Reichelt competed in his first every marathon in Dundee. On what was described by the organiser as "slightly warmer (and windier) conditions than expected." He said that he didn't expect to get sunburnt nor nearly blown off the sea wall, but he did complete the distance in a more than respectable 4:27:15.
