Due to several fixture clashes only six North Wales Road Runners took part in the Saturday morning parkrun at Conwy, but they still recorded three age category wins and Steve Mason was the first male runner back home amidst 181 starters.

Steve maintained his recent good form to claim a notable victory, and he also won his MV45 age cat in 18 minutes and 59 seconds despite the blustery conditions and a puddle-filled course.

Former NWRRC athlete Chris Yorke took the 2nd spot overall, and he too won his VM50 age cat in 19.21, with Lewis Jones finishing in 3rd place and 1st VM35 cat in 19.53. The 1st female runner was local junior athlete Sophia Voice, who also won her JM11-14 age cat in 11th place overall in 21.33.

Jamie Tharme was the next Road Runner back, and he finished in 13th place in 21.51, with Carla Green 22nd overall and the 2nd female athlete, but she won her VW50 age cat in 22.45. 

And Stuart Culverhouse enjoyed a steady run to finish in 34th place in 23.50, with veteran Rob Fryer finishing 60th overall and 2nd in his MV65 cat in 25.57.

In addition, master veteran Dave Gardner made a surprise but very welcome parkrun appearance for the first time in about three years and recorded a time of 50.11 to win his MV80-85 age cat.
