The Mudnificent Seven Obstacle Course Race
On Saturday the 17th of August, Adrian Horne took part in The Mudnificent Seven Obstacle Course Race, a physically exhausting multi terrain race with natural and man made obstacles to navigate. Seven different obstacle course race organisers had set up an obstacle zone each over the whole route. There were in and out of water areas, carrying sand bags and logs, water slides, big A frame climbs, monkey bars, lots of cargo nets to get under and finally jumping a fire pit at the end.
Adrian ran as part of an obstacle course team called The Sons of Mudarchy, one of the largest obstacle course teams, with about 200 members in total, they raise a-lot of money for many different charities. The Sons of Mudarchy had their own team waive start time, with about 80 members running in this event. Adrian finished the event soaked and caked in mud, exhausted, but jubilant, in a time of 3h00m07s with an extremely tiring average running speed of 33:22min/miles.

Kirsten Welch Takes 1st Lady At The Stur.
Kirsteen Welch took part in The Stur Half on Sunday the 4th of August. The race was organised by The Dorset Doddlers and sponsored by Honeybuns the gluten free bakery. It started at 10:30 from Station Rd in Sturminster Newon and followed a hilly route along the roads of the town and the surrounding area. With six water stations Kirsteen had some great practice on how not to drink water while still running. Good job that she is a star runner who took 1st lady in 1h24m56s.

Straight Eight
This year due to a large event at Powderham Castle, Greenbow Running Club decided to hold a one-off time trial instead of the usual Straight Eight race. The normal route was used starting from Starcross and finishing at Exeter Quay using the footpaths along the Exe Estuary, Exeter Canal and the River Exe.
Antony Hall came in 2nd place, beating his previous years time by two minutes in a time of 50m50s and Kat Hall also knocked two minutes from her previous time, crossing the line in 1h16s in 14th place.
