4 Sphinxes travelled down to North Devon to run the Woolacombe Half Marathon. This is basically a fell race which follows the undulating (hilly) coast path for about 5 miles before a short stretch on a soft sandy beach and then a few miles on the moorland before rejoining the coast path for the return into woolacoombe. Conditions for race day were humid and wet and quite windy on exposed parts of the course. Gary did the best run of day finishing 1st in old bloke category.
Also spotted ex Sphinxes Darren Handley and Bern Blundell and Massey Martin Judge.
