Sunday 13th December 2020, the 4.6 km course in Ottery St Mary started at Canaan Park. 44 competitors including 15 youngsters set off. To comply with social distancing the family groups or individuals went off in staggered starts. The Mayoress of Ottery and the President of Ottery Valley Rotary, Max Barnish sent the runners on their way. The route took in the streets and river of Ottery St Mary.
The spirits of those who took park could not be dampened despite the awful weather conditions.
All competitors received a well deserved mince pie/sweet and drink, at the end of the run
Money raised will be donated to local charities.
Thank you to Sainsburys in Ottery for their kind donation of mince pies.
