Yesterday evening saw 13 runners from Hayle join over 200 others at the Tywardreath Trotter, a 7-mile multi-terrain race held on a mix of footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes. A hilly route at the best of times, this year’s race was made even tougher by recent heavy rain which meant there was a lot of mud and a couple of washed out paths and homemade bridges to contend with! Everybody did a super job on an extra-challenging course.
A few well-deserved shoutouts go to:
- Jennifer Forbes – 1st – Female 35-39
- Kevin Silver – 2nd – Male 55-59
- Jon Eldon – 1st – Male 60-64
Jennie Massey, Sarah Ellis & Sam Collier – Best Green Army team spirit finish
Well done to everybody who took part and huge thanks to the Tywardreath Village Fete Committee for organising!
And if that wasn’t enough, while the Hayle contingent were up in Tywardreath, Neil Hayhurst was even further afield running the Montane Lakeland 50, which is a 50-mile ultra run in the Lake District!. Neil came 37th out of over 1300 runners and achieved a course PB by over 27 minutes – Amazing work!
