THE seventh annual Tywardreath Trotter was held on Saturday, round seven of the Cornwall Multi-Terrain Series, sponsored by Personal Best Running and the National Trust.
There were 257 finishers and the race was won in an excellent time of 40.04 by Tony Brewer of the Penryn-based Mile High Club.
He was just under a minute ahead of Launceston Road Runners' Dan Rodgers, with Peter Ellis (Hayle Runners) taking third place in a time of 42.47.
The ladies race was won by Lucy Mancer of St Austell Running Club in a time of 49:08, and 39th overall, with veteran runner Revis Crowle of East Cornwall Harriers second woman home in 50.04, finishing 49th overall.
She was just under a minute ahead of her East Cornwall team-mate Sharon Daw, with Debbie Harrison of Hayle Runners taking third spot in 52.21.
Lucy's performance helped St Austell to win the ladies team title, together with Emma Murray, Deb Grills and Shirley Cairney.
The course is challenging, of which 50 per cent is off-road and is a distance of approximately seven miles. Thanks to everyone who took part and all the helpers and marshals that made the event possible.
Thanks also to all race sponsors, including The New Inn, Cornish Riviera Box Office, St Austell Brewery, Varker Appliances, West Pharmaceutical Services, Webber Rowe Homes, Pave Velo and Tywardreath Butchers.
Next year's event will take place on Saturday July 27. The fun run will start at 5.30pm and the main race will start at 6.45pm.
