It was a pleasure to sponsor the Dartmoor Ultra-Marathon last weekend by providing a well deserved beer to some of the runners. Here are a selection of photos from the event, including race winner Simon Longthorpe, Mark Becker, Roger Hales, Mark Wotton, Roger Hayes and Wendy Webber! Overall winner Simon Longthrope, from Torbay AC, completed the gruelling 32-miles course in just under 3:48:01, and Holly Rush of Avon Valley Runners came second with an impressive time of 4:03:15, less than a minute off the female course record!

Somehow we managed to squeeze around 30 people into the shop at the front of our site in Princetown, and helped John enjoy his special day. To celebrate the day we gifted John with a one-of-a-kind IPA teddy bear, and put on a special series of beers, including Burbles Bitter and 50 Shades� of Burbage.
