We had a good turn out this year, for this Cotswold Outdoor North Wales Series counter, with 66 runners and some impressive times. John Bowie’s old course record that had stood for three years was beaten by a number of runners. Lloyd Taggart, MO40, Manx FR, was first home with a time of 42.43, beating the previous course record by a full four minutes. Andrea Rowlands, FO40, Eryri, successfully defended and beat her own female record with a time of 51.26.

The weather was variable and most runners finished before the rain showers. Apart from a few gorse scratches everyone made it back in one piece. Overall a good day was had by all.

We would like to thank the marshals for their help and for looking after everyone so well. Special thanks to the Spa in Glyn Ceiriog and Chirk for their very generous donations towards the prizes, also to The Oak Y Dderwen pub in Glyn Ceiriog. Photos will be displayed on the website www.canolfanceiriog.org. We would like to thank everyone for coming, all the money raised goes towards the running costs of the community centre. We look forward to seeing you again next year. Diolch yn Fawr.
