54 Hayle runners were some of over 350 participants who took on the Turkey Trot last Wednesday. This hilly 4-miler is race number 8 in the GP series.
The route started in Tolgus Mount before heading out to Illogan and back towards Illogan Highway, then returned to Tolgus Mount. Despite the Christmassy implications of the name, runners were even treated to a spot of July sunshine.
The men’s team – consisting of Sam Farmer, Neil Hayhurst, Oliver Brunnock, Daniel Costello, Peter Barnes, Liam O’Neill – took third place which is a brilliant effort in a fast field and hot and humid conditions. Sam also came in fifth place overall – fantastic work.
Several runners took home age category prizes, so a huge well done to:
Emma Paull – 1st – Women 35-39 (Emma also came in as fourth woman overall!)
Julie Towers – 1st – Women 60-64
Diane Warren – 1st – Women 65-69
Andrea Simmons – 1st – Women 70-74
Neil Hayhurst – 1st – Men 40-44
Peter Barnes – 2nd – Men 40-44
Scott Abraham – 2nd – Men 50-54
Chunky Penhaul – 1st – Men 75-79
Stewart Townend – 2nd – Men 80+
“The Turkey Trot is always a fantastically well organised race with a great post-race atmosphere at Trickys. A reasonably quick four miles around the block sees our runners generally running a bit quicker than their usual 10k+ paces and everyone finishes with a smile on their face. In a very competitive race we were pleased the men’s team managed to bring home 3rd place, while the 9 age category prizes were all golds and silvers.”

Well done to everybody who took part in the race, no matter the time.
