>>Race News
>>Hanham Horror 10k – Sunday 8 April
Eric and Jan ventured up to Hanham nr Bristol for the Hanham Horror 10k expecting lots of cold mud! No
mud (and warm)!! Had a rather hasty dash to get to the start (arrived 2 mins before the race start!). Very
scenic course, undulating (with steps thrown in), also some interesting rope climbs towards the finish!
Well marshalled and friendly atmosphere. Eric finished in a time of 50:34 and Jan 57:47
>>Tavy 13 – Sunday 15 April
More Coasting than Coaster (Tryl’s comments on this race) but she did say Tavy 13 is a great route.
About 300 runners took part in this hilly but scenic run around the lanes of Tavistock. Definitely one for
next year's diary! Thoroughly recommended for other club members who have not run it. Running for the
first time as a Coaster and his furthest distance for a long time Sean, first Coaster in 1:41:07, followed by
Simon 1:48, Kevin 1:57 and Tryl 2:25:33 (not sure about these times as they seemed to have problems
with their chip timing
>> London Marathon – Sunday 23 April
3 Dawlish Coasters travelled to London to take part in the Virgin London Marathon, despite the forecast

4:44:56, followed by Tryl 5:21:08 and Pat 5:27:32 knocking 30 minutes of last years time
