Despite the picture two South Devon AC runners weren’t feeling goofy at all as they took on the Walt Disney World marathon in Orlando Florida. Despite hot, humid conditions Dani and Antony Waters both did fantastically running their first marathon - well done both! South Devon AC 2020 Grand Prix kicked off with the “Oh my Obelisk” nine mile race hosted by Dawlish Coasters, a nice muddy trail race. Kevin Ashworth and Kerry Bell took maximum points being first male and female b

Sunday was the next race in South Devon AC’s Grand Prix series at the Killerton 10K. Torrential rain just before the race didn’t dampen anyone’s enthusiasm and fortunately the rain stopped and held off long enough for everyone to get around the course. The course is a series of loops and switchbacks through the grounds and woods at Killerton house with plenty of hills and some slippery descents. The race is run in a series of waves so despite Alex Magee leading our wave from

South Devon AC held their annual Beaches race on Tuesday which starts at South Sands Goodrington with the turnaround at the end of Preston Beach. It’s an internal club race this year doubling as the club off road championships and guest runners are also welcome. Conditions were generally good but with a strong headwind along Paignton beach combined with running on sand makes it a tough race. In the mens race it was a win again for Dave Hampton with Alex Magee only a minute be
