Steve Forsyth stormed to victory in the Halloween 10k at Porth Eirias last Saturday morning, which followed a revised route from Colwyn Bay to Penrhyn Bay and back, due to ongoing construction work on the coastal path to Llandullas.

The Prestatyn athlete had a comfortable run winning his VM40-49 age category in just 34 minutes. North Wales Road Runner Jonathan Kettle gave chase and ran extremely well to finish 2nd overall and 2nd in his age cat in 34.41, with Steve’s club colleague Andrew Bromley claiming 3rd place a minute adrift in 35.41.

The race, which attracted 139 runners, proved a success for several other NWRRC members with Richard Eccles finishing 7th overall and winning his VM50-59 age cat in 36.49. And Carla Green continued her superb run of form as the 1st female finisher, and 1st VW40-49 cat winner, finishing 10th overall in 40.05.

Hannah Griffith was another club member who enjoyed a steady run to finish 40th overall and the 6th female in 40th place in 50.06, with teenager Mia Morris winning her F11-19 age cat and knocking more than two-minutes off her previous PB, as the 14th female, and 65th overall in 58.10, and Mia’s mother Rachel completed her run in 103rd place in 71.22. And it proved to be a family day out for the Morris team with young Jack also taking part in the associated 1k fun run in 7.15.
