Marathon Racing
Our smallish Marathon
Racing team compete in the Hasler series of interclub races against some
of the strongest marathon racing clubs in the UK and have succeeded in
getting to the National finals for the last three years. Members also
compete in interclub sprint races at the National Water Sports Centre, Holme Pierrepont Nottingham.
The team now have some very promising younger members with one in particular
closing in on the national junior squad.
The Club has had
considerable success in the annual Devises to Westminster (DW), a
gruelling 125 mile race in which the club won the team trophy and a K2
first place in 1990 and the team trophy again in 1998. One of our members has completed this race more
than 17 times. The training is hard and takes place over the winter
months so considerable dedication is needed by those who compete in this
event. Another annual event has been the Exe decent but there was no race in
2007 due to access problems and its future looks uncertain.
