A FIELD of over 2000 runners made the annual pilgrimage to Seaton in east Devon for the 20-mile Grissly off road running race.

Three members of Worcester Triathlon Club entered but Ruth Heatley, last year's ladies' winner, was injured as was Kevin May, who competed in 2001.

Les Bailey was left to fly the flag and had a great race despite losing time at 18 miles due to a nasty flint track fall, easily leading home the over 60-year- olds. His time of 3.09.09 gave him 282nd place.
