Neil Owen in the International Snowdon Race It was his first attempt at the event and had not had long to train for it, so was not too dissatisfied with his time of 1-37.06, which gave him seventh place in the M55 class. Like many, he found the descent tough, especially in the warm conditions. Club captain Glenda Davies, who had been looking forward to competing a second time, withdrew after suffering a back problem in recent weeks. Club Handicap

NEIL Owen was Prestatyn Running Club’s sole representative in the International Snowdon Race at the weekend, when he joined 500 others for the 10-mile race to the summit and back.
Twenty-one members took part in the club’s annual handicap over a 5k course from Meliden to Dyserth and back, and Paul Das took advantage of a rather generous handicap to win by 14 seconds from the title holder Helen Ashworth.
