Exeter was the setting for the start of the Great West Run. 2500 runners all taking on the 13.1 miles in the beautiful County of Devon
James Shoulder took on this sold out half marathon alongside his brother George and sister Victoria.
Starting at the Exeter Arena, James set out into the city centre. Lined with supporters cheering and shouting, he made his way out toward the beautiful, but soggy country lanes of Stoke Woods. Onward he ran onto an out and back section which bought James back toward the city, this time skirting the University campus before returning the way he came to a rapturous stadium finish.
“It was a bit wet on the way around” said James
James finished in a fantastic 1 hour and 51 minutes and 55 seconds, showing his knee injury that has hampered his running all year is well and truly behind him now. Well done James.
