Comments (0)|Read more

There were six Eryri Harriers amongst the 90 finishers in the Sun Centre (Rhyl) 5k (Incorporating the North Wales 5k Championships) on Wednesday evening 21st May. 

The flat seaside course was not to everyone’s liking with a bit of a slight headwind on the outward stretch towards Prestatyn but nothing could deter the fast improving Meirionydd athlete Tom Roberts from comfortably winning the event and the North Wales title in a time of 16:00!  2nd was Callum Rowlinson (Bangor University) 16:27, 3rd Dean Longley (Prestatyn) 16:39 with Eryri’s Daniel Kashi 4th in a time of 16:51.

The next Eryri Harrier to finish was Cheshire based and former Eryri Road Running Champion, Tony Woodall who finished 15th overall 3rd MV/40 in a time of 18:34 with: 19th (2nd MV/55) Arwel Lewis 19:35.40th Maldwyn Evans 21:52. 78th (3rd MV/65) Martin Williams 26:20 and taking the North Wales MV/70 title, Iorwerth Roberts in a time of 27:43.

The event was the 3rd race in the Eryri 2014 Road Running Championships.

News from Llangynhafal

Comments (0)|Read more

Only five club members made the trip to Llangynhafal on Saturday to tackle to long standing ‘Loop’.  A fast short race with a sting in the middle, and since it was run as a British counter, now with a sting at the end too!

Craig Jones (sporting a dodgy goatee beard) took advantage of the lack of top racing snakes to take a comfortable second overall, behind winner Buckley’s Jez Brown, who was himself some distance ahead.

Wendy Trimbel also claimed a comfortable second slot for the ladies, though like Craig never troubling race winner Jane Joy of Helsby, but herself three minutes clear of third place.  Hayley Turner finished 4th lady overall.

The other Eryri finishers were Nic Brook and Steve Jones.

The organisation was relaxed and spot on, and as usual the atmosphere super friendly at the Golden Lion pub with spot prizes galore, just what fellrunning is about.

I should be grateful if you could tell members of Eyri Harriers about the Wenlock Olympian marathon and half marathon to be held on Sunday 18th May. I attach an entry form but all details are available on the Wenlock Olympian Society website. It is a multi terrain event and a really lovely route, new for this year.

Joe Browns TES – Race 5, Râs Moel y Gest

Comments (0)|Read more

“Joe Brown’s Tuesday Night Series #5 Moel y Gest
The best rough and tumble race in the series saw JP never troubled after the U/14s turned off and Cai Linton got lost on the summit, and ‘jack in the box’ Jenny in her element in the rough. A nice break now while I go off to top up my tan. Then to the ‘eyeballs out’ Great Orme.
The Caernarfon Tyres Junior races saw nearly 30 make the trek. Jake and Kayla winning the U/18, Mike and Jodie the U/10, Connor and Georgia the U/12 and Sion and Fachwen’s Catrin Smith in the U/14.
Cheers, Mike.
