Monaghan's too fast for the rest in January Jaunt
TAMAR Trotters' John Marshall and Tavistock's Adam Holland had to settle for second and third places in the annual January Jaunt 10k.
The local pair could not prevent Torbay veteran Peter Monaghan running away with the race that is organised by the Plymouth Round Table.
Monaghan, 48, finished in a time of 35 minutes and 35 seconds, which was nearly two minutes faster than fellow 48-year-old Marshall, who came home in 37:14.
Holland, who had finished second in 2012, clocked 37:42 in the race that starts and finishes at St Boniface Arena and heads up and around the Saltram estate.
