Six of the best for the Road Runners at Conwy parkrun.
Report by Don Hale. https://donhaleblog.blogspot.com
North Wales Road Runners celebrated nine podium places including six of the best age category winning times at a bright and sunny Conwy parkrun last Saturday morning.
Josh Keogh gave the club a great start with an outstanding performance to finish as the first athlete back home to win his SM30 age cat in just 17 minutes and 14 seconds.
The talented fell runner led a team of eleven club members over another puddle-filled 5k course which also greeted a wealth of fellow runners from across the UK, who had travelled to make a special weekend of competition including the Conwy half-marathon the following day.
Many of the parkrun finishing times probably reflected the preparation needed for the tough challenge around the Great Orme just 24-hours later.

Josh was followed by colleague Steve Mason in 3rd place, who won his MV45 cat in 18.50, with Will Williams 5th and the MV50 cat winner in 19.28.
And Carla Green jogged around the course with her husband Martin Green and finished as the 4th female runner in 31st place overall, and she too won her VW50 cat in 23.18, with Martin running back in 33rd place, and just a second behind Carla to finish 2nd in his MV45 cat.

Stuart Culverhouse had a steady run in 49th place in 24.34, and partially sighted athlete Daniel Owens returned to parkrun for the first time in nearly twelve-months running with guide Nick Hayes (Lonely Goat) and finished 81st, and 2nd in his SM25 cat in 26.40.
Master veteran Don Hale recorded a two-minute improvement from previous weeks to finish 83rd in 26.49, and he also won his MV70 age cat, whilst Dave Spofforth and his son Ben ran together with Ben winning his JM10 age cat in 102nd place overall in 28.06, and Mike Hayton continued his good form to finish in 114th place and 2nd in his MV70 cat in 28.54.
*The race was won by SM30 NWRRC member Josh Keogh in 17.14, with teenager Alex Moseley (Doncaster AC), finishing in 2nd place overall, and he also won his SM18 age cat with a PB 17.19, and fellow Road Runner Steve Mason claimed 3rd place with another positive display in 18.50 to win his MV45 cat. The 1st female runner was Chloe Hawkins (Uttoxeter RR) on her debut in 20.45, with Belinda Brennan (Bramhall Runners) 2nd in 22.28, with her club colleague Aeronwy Craig 3rd in 22.42. There were 237 finishers, and praise was given to the race director Sharon Hughes and her excellent team of volunteers and marshals.
