THE Plymouth half marathon 13.1m course saw runners proceed from the Hoe, through the city centre towards Plymstock and Elburton. The loop saw them head through Saltram and then back towards the city centre, eventually finishing the gruelling course on the Hoe.

Tamar Trail Warrior Lisa Nickel (pictured) had just come back from injury and been out for a few months and ran the event with her friend Wendy. Wendy had set a target of 2 hours 30 minutes and Lisa completed the course in 2hrs 26mins – with the friends ‘over the moon’ with their time, especially on such a hot day for running a half marathon.
