Mighty Greens Jo Earlam and Jane Hemsworth took part in the Running Events Devon marathon on Monday.
The event took place on the old railway line between Exmouth and Budleigh, a 3.3 mile out and back route which they ran eight times in six hours.
Surprisingly, the elevation over the 26.7 miles was 1,700 feet but they both enjoyed it, especially as it was Jane’s 36th marathon and Jo’s 97th. Jo has less than 100 miles to run to her 100th marathon. Congratulations you Mighty Greens.
