Mark Wotton was the only Teignbridge Trotter who competed in the Burrator Horseshoe run on Saturday.

The seven-mile race, which starts and finishes in the centre of Meavy Village, is a scenic but challenging run taking in Burrator Reservoir, Sheep’s Tor and Gutter Tor. The course also goes through Ringmoor Down and through the ford back into the village.

At around half way, there was bog to contend with which Wotton – who finished in a time of 66.07 to be 117th out of 183 finishers – can confirm is about chest high!

On the same day, Graydon Widdicome travelled to Milton Keynes to take part in day one of the Enigma Shaken And Not Stirred marathon.

Many Trotters have used the Enigma events to ramp up their marathon totals, as Enigma put on several marathons a year, all taking place around the same Caldecotte Lake.

The course is a lapped one meaning that for the marathon distance, runners have to go 7.5 times around. Having never done a lapped course like this before, Widdicome found that he quite enjoyed counting the them down.

In good conditions, he managed 4.01.03 and although a pb was a little disappointed with the time, but greatly enjoyed the event.

His position was 21st out of 51 finishers.
