Eleven members of North Wales Road Runners competed in the gruelling Great Orme fell race, which attracted 150 hardy athletes, and is part of a challenging midweek series of similar events.

Jonathan Kettle led the team home in 17th place overall in 36 minutes and 35 seconds, with Steve Mason close on his heels and finishing 19th in 37.13. Veteran Kevin Slattery followed up his excellent performance in the Snowdonia half-marathon with another good result in 46th place in 41.42, and Adam Lemalle was pleased with both his run and his time after finishing 69th in 43.41.

Steve Bozier continued to rebuild his fitness and he was 89th in 47.06, with Richard Scamans 115th in 51.07, whilst Nicola Wylie was 120th in 52.13 and she also won her age cat. and it was good to see Elizabeth Driscoll returning back to form with another good run in 122nd place in 53.13, with Nia Lister 147th in 64.26, and Helen Hannam 148th in 64.59, whilst Gwennan Charlton was 149th in 66.17.


After the race, Jonathan Kettle confirmed: “It was a very tough race with two summits of the Great Orme with 1300ft of elevation over 4 miles. Absolutely perfect weather and although it was such a tough race, it was also so enjoyable. A perfect way to spend a Tuesday evening on the trails running with friends. Great to see so many NWRRC Club runners attend and some fantastic results.
