Not to be put off by one less hour of sleep after the clocks went forward,15 Hayle runners travelled up to Seaton this morning to compete in East Cornwall Harriers’ Trepolpen Seythin 10km race.
The name of the event reflects the terrain it includes, so competitors took on village (tre), coast (pol), and hills (pen) during the route around Seaton country park, out past Deviock, and back along the beach from Downderry. After all that, the pub finish was definitely appreciated!
Everybody put in a terrific effort on a tough course, but a few runners placed in the top 3 in their age categories:
- Kevin Silver – 3rd – Male 55-59
- Jon Eldon – 1st – Male 60-64
- Chunky Penhaul – 1st – Male 75-79
Our male (Jacob Gardner, Liam O’Neill, Jon Eldon & Frazer Humbles) and female (Jennifer Forbes, Margaret Clark, Claire Stone & Fiona Gamble) teams also both placed fourth!
Well done to everybody who took part, and our thanks to East Cornwall Harriers for a brilliant event!
