A chilly but beautiful Sunday morning saw 57 Hayle Runners travel up the coast to participate in the Newquay 10k. The undulating course took them from the town, out towards Crantock, before turning back for one last hill before the finish at the Sports Centre. Club members from a range of different groups gave it their all and did Hayle proud.
Jordan Morant led a men’s team also consisting of Peter Barnes, Dan Strickland, Simone Knowles, Scott Abraham, and Liam O’Neill, to fourth place. Emma Paull was the first Hayle lady home. She was joined in the sixth place women’s team by Kirsty Medlock, Lia Foreman, Michelle Fitt, Naomi Astill, and Hannah Smith.
