North Wales Road Runner Carla Green stormed home to claim the prestigious 1st female prize at the Tatton Park 10k last Saturday and finished almost a minute and a half ahead of her nearest rival – and over eleven minutes ahead of World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury!

Carla, who battled with injury problems last season, put in a gritty, and determined performance in very wet and rainy conditions around this spectacular course, and was delighted by her win and her VW50 age category victory in a fast time of 41 minutes and 9 seconds.

She finished 23rd overall and didn’t pull any punches, competing against some 550 quality entrants, which included the World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who is 6 feet 9 inches tall, and weighs about 19 stone, together with his boxing brother Tommy. The celebrity duo use running to help build endurance, and Tyson eventually finished 163rd in 52.17, with Tommy 148th in 51.30.

Carla was joined in the race by club debutant Mal Preece, who finished 122nd in 50.09, and Rachel Morris, who enjoyed a good run as part of her marathon training, finished 393rd place in 1.03.53, and dipped well under her 1 hour and 10-minute target.
