James Shoulder took the trip to Exeter on Sunday to take on this sold out half marathon alongside 2500 other runners.
Starting at the Exeter Arena, James set out into the city centre. Despite the deluge of rain the course was lined with supporters cheering and shouting, getting into the spirit of the event.
He made his way out toward the beautiful 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.
“I really enjoyed that! I felt relaxed” said James
Despite having taken part in the IOW marathon just 7 days previously, James crossed the line in the stadium in a fantastic 1.58.29 and 55 seconds.
