Garry has sent the following report of the North Devon marathon, where he finished 19th overall and 1st in his category! Top running, Garry.
First time trying the full marathon after a couple of runs out doing the half marathon. This event is a figure of 8 with the race start/finish on the green at Woolacombe right next to the beach. A testing course featuring 3435ft of ascent over what I ve recorded as 25.77 miles but being a fell runners association event they’re not the sort to fret over a few hundred yards (nope,nor me)! Luckily the weather was overcast and damp making for ideal conditions for running/grovelling!!
Overall 19th – 1st in age cat’ – 3:48:35
