SATURDAY morning saw the September edition of the monthly five kilometre run through the Meadows park in Tavistock.

The flatish course is ideal for beginners as well as setting fast times for those chasing a personal best.

The race was won by Plymouth Musketeer Scott Mansfield in 19 minutes 19 seconds.

The second, third and fourth places were hotly contested by Natasha Farrington, David Harris and Jennifer Sabine. David got the better of the two girls in the last half mile and finished in 20.13 with Natasha coming home in 20.21 and Jenny in 20.26.

The September 5k was also the culmination of 12 weeks of training for the latest Tavy Joggers couch to 5k group.

For the past two years Tavy Joggers have regularly been running couch to 5k groups and have had well more than 150 people complete their 12 week course in that time. The current crop kept that record going and were all delighted to ‘graduate’.
