In the middle of the Coronation weekend, Honiton Running Clubs’ Ottery 10k and fun run took place which meant SRC’s social secretary, Naomi Garrick, could go to town with the red, white and blue!
Participating in the fun run were SRC Juniors Jonathan, Marcus, Dom, Louis, Harry and Amelia and two mums Carol and Donna.
In the 10km route, Tom Knight was the first MG to cross the finish line in 44:41, 44th in a field of 227. Jo Pavey MBE presented the top awards and, although Shaun Tipton was not a recipient, he was delighted to have a photo taken with the Olympian.
This race saw the return of MG Emma Grainger back from injury and, although it has been nice seeing Emma marshalling at many local events cheering on the Mighty Greens, it is even better to be running alongside her.
