RACE THE TIDE 2026
Saturday 16th May
Race Reverb..
Blessed by the prevalent sunny climes of the South Hams.. we dodged the downpours for the majority of the day.. 😮💨 .. we were expecting a soggy trip down south but it turned out perfectly in the end! 🤩
Once again we had a great turnout for this event with almost 350 signing up for the two shorter distances!
A month earlier than last year.. we have to coincide with the tides ..🤷. and it’s always a weather dependent event, but thankfully we’ve always managed to get it on!
. Many thanks to the Flete Estate for letting us run their pristine riverside trails..
So to the runners themselves! A crazy, happy bunch they were.. 🙂
Racedays are always a buzzy place to be, and you really couldn’t have been anywhere else other than Mothecombe last Saturday!
Thanks for all of your support! 👏👏👏
