Kelly and Walker helped Tavistock claimed the female Ross Shield team award, which was again incorporated into the Tavy 7. South West Road Runners won the men’s shield.

Tamar Trotters had a good race as Crispin Brabner were first and second over-50s, while Tavistock’s Jenny Jeaves was first female over-50.

Heavy rain in the run up to the event meant there were floods and standing water on some of the roads while the wind also made conditions tough, but there were still 435 finishers in the race that starts and finishes at Plaster Down on Dartmoor.
