North Wales Road Runner Charlotte Rose Wilton Jones competed in the gruelling Castell Howell International Mountain Race last Saturday, which included a challenging route up and down Mt Snowdon.





*Charlotte is shown above and with her medal.

This popular event attracted a host of experienced and highly talented mountain runners from around the UK and Europe for one of the top sporting events on the Welsh calendar, which this year celebrated its 49th year.


Charlotte was one of nearly five-hundred finishers, and she performed extremely well despite the inclement weather, and completed her arduous 10-mile circuit of this famous Welsh mountain in just 1 hour 47 mins and 45 seconds and claimed a prestigious podium place after finishing 3rd in her respective F35 age category, in 191st place overall, and she was the 38th female athlete. 


After her race, Charlotte said: “Ras Yr Wyddfa was challenging in the rain, but I loved every minute of it!”

 

Charity appeal for Charlotte’s next run: 


“I’ll be taking part in the Ogwen25 | Yr Helgi Du on August 3rd held in Snowdonia this year which is a 25km hilly mountain race and I’ll be raising funds for Beat which is a UK eating disorder charity.”
