It took place at the “Flowerpot” end of Exeter Haven Banks canal and is organised by Iron Bridge Runner Events. Nine Teignbridge trotters took it up and posted some really good times which they will be trying to improve in future rounds.

Finishing the team up was Glenn Jarvis in 69th place and 69th.
