Ninety-five hardy runners tackled the challenging but very picturesque Fairy Freckled Cow trail race around Alwen Reservoir last Sunday, which was staged by kind permission from Welsh Water and Natural Resources Wales.
This year the event, run over a near 7-mile undulating course and well organised by Denbigh Harriers, also included the North Welsh Championships, and attracted club members from varied parts of Wales and the UK.
Kay Hatton and Mike Hayton were the only representatives from NWRRC, due to other fixture clashes, but both seemed pleased with their performances despite a tough run and the warm and humid conditions.
Kay finished as the 14th female runner, 53rd overall and she was 2nd in her W55 age category in 57 minutes 45 seconds. At the time of writing, Kay was awaiting confirmation of a possible medal in the NW Champs. Mike also ran well on his return to competition following the Covid restrictions and was 78th overall and 4th M70 athlete in 68.22.
The men’s race was won by Tomos Roberts (Meirionnyd RC) in 39.04, with 2nd place going to Joel Gomes (Wrexham Amateur AC) in 39.20, with Ian Edwards (Eryri Harriers) 3rd in 39.58.
Joanne Henderson was the Ladies race winner in 44.39, followed by Rheagan Edwards (Deeside AC) and the U20 age cat winner in 45.10, and she was closely followed by Tracy Rogers (Buckley AC) In 45.53.
