The Harriers' commitment to the sport was further evidenced on June 8 with their admirable performances in the Dartmoor Discovery.

The 32-mile Ultra Marathon started in Princetown.

It then followed a route that passed through Dartmeet, Poundsgate, Newbridge, Ashburton, Buckland in the Moor, Widecombe in the Moor and Postbridge, then back to finish in Princetown.

The runners experienced everything that Dartmoor could offer, from stunning views, beautiful scenery, wild ponies and of course the infamous hills.

John Terry participated in the unique 'Man Vs Horse' 22-mile multi-terrain race.

Held in the Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells, runners competed against riders on horseback over a mix of road, trail and mountainous terrain.

Despite that, Terry finished in an impressive 35th position overall while being the 19th solo competitor to finish, only beaten by 11 horses and five relay teams.

The Buckland Bounder race on the same day saw four Harriers athletes through a hilly and scenic route over six miles.

The noteworthy Swansea Half Marathon on June 9, saw Alice Kelly record a new personal best time of 1.19.50.

Her performance was so impressive that she was the second woman to finish overall.

Despite the demanding route, she rose to the challenge, maintaining the spirit of the Exmouth Harriers.

The impressive week of results extends the proud legacy Exmouth Harriers have built, their commitment to the sport and to competing at their best, irrespective of the terrain and race conditions.

Their effort, dedication, and results continue to set an example and raise the bar for running clubs across Devon.
