FOUR members of Bere Alston Trekkers (Bats) took part in the Fulford Five last weekend.

The Fulford Five is a five mile road race around the streets of Exmouth and is a race of two laps.  The race is well established as one of the first road races of the year, for many athletes in Devon and further a field. 

The race, however, is so much more than the first chance for the serious athletes to dust off their racing shoes; the distance of five miles is an ideal distance for first time racers, who feel the length is well within their capabilities.

The first Bat home was Mike Smith who ran an absolutely superb time of 35 minutes 43 seconds and was chased home by Matt Luckham. 

First lady Bat was Heather Smith, celebrating her birthday, who literally flew around the course and was followed home by Donna Luckham.
