The Teignbridge Trotters have been taking part in major events across the pond, and here in the UK.

Rachel and Matt Steele made it to the USA for the highly regarded Boston Marathon. A fantastic experience from start to finish, 3.37.30 Rachel, 3.38.55 Matt.

The Easter Bunny flat and fast 10k at Yeovil was a well run, decent quick course by Yeovil Town Running Club with helpful conditions making it good for a P.B and Trotters filled their boots with prizeware.
