Four Exmouth Harriers were in action over the weekend with two of them in a sprint finish duel after racing 26.2 miles in the Exmouth REDs Marathon on Sunday.
Chris Murrin ran his 109th and 110th marathon when he took on the challenge of two 26.2 mile marathons within 24 hours on the Exmouth / Budleigh Trail. Starting and finishing near Capel Lane each of the eight 5.3km laps made up the full marathon distance out and back on the disused railway line.
Chris was 4th overall in a surprisingly quick time of 3.50.48 in the Saturday event and then not only ran a great time of 4.28.30 in the Sunday event but he won the race after a sprint finish with Kelly Thomas who finished 2nd overall and 1st Lady finisher in 4.28.34.
Chris will be racing in his 111th Marathon in the Tiverton Canal event on Sunday, March 12.
Dave Stone and Lisa Boyd raced in the Exeter 10km. Dave finished in 18th place in 39.19 and Lisa finished in 138th in 53.24. The race was on a flat course that started and finished on Exeter Quay with two laps out to Countess Weir on the footpaths of the Riverside Valley Park.
