A great, but hot evening to be joined by the juniors for our annual Paignton Mile race.

The first event of the internal Grand Prix series for this year. A new route for a new season, taking in the grass and new cycle path at Clennon Valley. Then a cool down run (if that was possible🥵 along the main road and back down the coast path.

Finally a big thanks to all the marshals; we couldn't do it without you ❤️.

Starting and finishing at the Leisure Centre, looping the loop around Preston and Paignton Greens tonight.

Lasts nights Club run started from Paignton rugby club. This was a trial to see if this would be a new preferred meeting place instead of our usual TLC. All feedback would be much appreciated.
We split into 2 groups. Run out to sea front and along the front to Hollicombe. The up threw Scadson woods to Occombe Farm, back down Occombe woods to the sea front, then back to the rugby club.
Thanks to our routemaster for this beautiful and enjoyable route
