A strong all-round team performance on Saturday saw Prestatyn Running Club's ladies keep alive their chance of promotion to Division 1 of the David Alun Williams North Wales Cross-Country League. The third fixture in Bala was hosted by Meirionnydd Running Club, and though the course was generally flat and surprisingly firm it contained one stretch of deep, sloppy mud. The 10-strong ladies' team finished 2nd on the day and hold that same position on aggregate with two races le

CAPTION: A happy group of members after the Conwy half-marathon The times they are a’changing for Prestatyn Running Club – and if proof were needed the weekend’s two main races provided the evidence. Of the 24 members in competitive action in Saturday’s Penmaenmawr fell-race and the following day’s Conwy half-marathon no fewer than 13 have joined the club in the past 12 months and some had not even joined when they registered for the races. It was the 50th time for the 11-mil

Prestatyn Running Club's mother-and-daughter Cathy Wood and Rachel Jackson had cause for a double celebration at the weekend after they both set personal bests, though in very different competitions. It was mum Cathy who had the outstanding result when she returned to Gwynedd for the Pen Llyn Winter Ultra, a 36-mile event starting and finishing in Llithfaen. Cathy, who is in her element in such events, finished in 9-53.58, taking no less than one hour off her previous best fo

Prestatyn Running Club's Tom Carter has been rewarded for his fine start to the cross-country season by being awarded another Welsh vest. In the first two fixtures of the David Alun Williams North Wales League he finished first and then second in the M40 class, and he has been selected in that same category for the British and Irish Masters' International in Leeds on November 15. There was a huge contrast in weather conditions for events over the weekend, with participants in

Marathon Eryri, justifiably described as one of the country's toughest and most scenic marathons, is either blessed with gorgeous autumnal weather or extremely testing conditions, and this year the 2,800 competitors faced the latter. The strong wind and rain were relentless, but that did not deter Prestatyn Running Club's captain Gareth Jones, who finished a brilliant 69th overall in 3-15.05, slicing a massive 36 minutes off the pb he set in 2022. Recent recruit Owen Gibson f

A week after his ultra race in the Lake District Prestatyn Running Club’s David Hudd iook on a different challenge over the weekend – and it proved very fruitful. He completed three races in just over 24 hours and picked up two awards in the process. On Saturday he fin9ished second in the Greenfield Valley Parkrun and the following day was among several runners who ran both and Abergele 5k and, shortly afterwards, the 10k. In the 5k he was second over 50 and in the 10k was th
