Thanks to Alex Bartlett for the following report: Here’s the results of the annual Devils Punch Bowl Boxing Day 3.5 Mile Fun Run I did with my Dad John, Sis Vicki Clarke and Bro-in-Law James Clarke. It started with a long, muddy down hill and ended with a longer uphill climb. Just over 2.5 miles in there was a drinks station where runners got a local pint of ale (if they wanted) which we drank and then we had just under a mile to the finish.
9 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends completed this Boxing Day race, with runners setting off at differing times according to ability.
