Six Axe Valley Runners started their Easter by taking part in the Fast Friday 10k organised by City Runs with the route using the riverside paths in Exeter.  

First AVR home was Terry Emmett in eighth and second M40, finishing in a superb 34.35.  Matt Hewer was 37th in 39.05 with Tim Sibley coming home in a PB of 42.04, despite recovering from a virus.  

Carol Austin was third F60, 163rd overall, in 50.20; Angela Kerr, 207th and second F65, in 56.08; and Sam Summers, 254th in 1:14.07.  

Special mention to the female Grizzly winner, Molly Smith who was a brilliant third placed woman in 37.08.  

Event Director Carol Austin celebrated her 250-milestone run at Saturday’s parkrun in Seaton. Carol began her parkrun journey in Birmingham, where she ran the second ever Cannon Hill parkrun before joining the core team of volunteers there. After moving to Seaton, she joined with Tony Smith to become Event Directors as Seaton joined the parkrun phenomenon.  

Regular volunteers Tim Sibley and Martin Kerr hit their 100 milestone volunteer stints. A whopping 341 runners including many visitors enjoyed the lovely weather on Easter Saturday.

AVRs also travelled far and wide for their parkrun fix, with visits including Brighton, Monmouth, Macclesfield, Penrose and Long Eaton.
