Molly and I braved the heat and took on The Great Escape on Saturday. The race started at 11:30am which ensured that we were up on the moor in the blazing sunshine for midday and the early afternoon. Despite there being no shade, there was a cooling breeze for most of the run and we took our time and enjoyed the scenery. The race is 15.5 miles from Princetown to Ivybridge across the moor and was spectacular. It was very well signed with two water stations and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
