A bumper number of Bere Alston Trekkers took part in the Tavy 7 road race.

Leading from the start and finishing second overall was Ben Neale.  Ben was quickly followed by team mate Nathan Newton who was running with a 20 mile training run in his legs from the day before and Dave Adams who was running on the back of the Chester Marathon. 

First lady Bat home was Tracey Oxborough; Tracey was also first in her age group.  Well done to Grant, Cath and Dan who were running their first event.

Also running were Mike Hepworth, Toby Rankin, Alan Cade and Stuart Hearne for the Monday Men and Elaine Fileman, Bonita Scaysbrook and Clare Jackman for the Saturday Ladies, Clare was second lady in her age group.

A big well done also go to the Fruit Bats running this week Joe Setterington and Ellie and Mia Guy and a big thank you to George and Lola for their support.

Earlier in the month Ben Neale took part in the Henley 10k in Oxfordshire and finished second overall out of a field of 479 in a superb time of 37 minutes 52 seconds.

Not satisfied with running the Loch Ness Marathon, a few days later Bat Paul Mingo made the trek to the top of Ben Nevis with his wife Rebecca, to proudly wear his Bats' vest and earn a well deserved marathon medal.
