MAWNAN Fun Run enjoyed it's best year yet with a record turn out despite the poor weather.

More than 225 men, women and children ran, hopped, walked and skipped their way around the 5k course, raising in excess of £2000 in the process for the Mawnan Playgroup new building.

Despite racing an extra few hundred metres after missing the home straight sign, race winner Dave Buzza romped home in a record 15 minutes 51 seconds.

"It could have been red faces all round but he took it in good spirits," said a marshal. "It was a case of blink and we missed him as he sped past; we just didn't expect to see him back so quickly."

Quick-thinking marshals made a race of it themselves as they dashed to the entrance to direct the remaining racers the right way home!
