Martin, (*pictured right), who now has dual club registration with Meirionnydd RC, finished well as the 75th male athlete overall in 1 hr 13 mins and 4 seconds and won his VM50 age category.
After the event he confirmed: “I went flat out for a championship time, and I was on track till around 6/7 miles then dropped off the pace unfortunately, but no complaints, enjoyed the block, took the race on but unfortunately not quite good enough on the day.”
Will Evans was also pleased with his excellent result and he knocked over three-minutes from his previous best time, running home in 1.26.29, as the 647th male, with Molly narrowly claiming a deserved sub-two-hour PB time of 1.59.49.
Will later said: “My daughter Molly and I ran in the Manchester half-marathon today. A fantastic day for it, with both Molly and I smashing our PBs.”
Other results:
*Leeds: Harry Driscoll celebrated after recording a good time of 37.01 at the Leeds Abbey Dash 10k race on Sunday in 297th place overall, out of nearly 6,000 athletes.
*Ruthin: Mark Jessett and Carla Green travelled to the Ruthin Memorial parkrun last Saturday and they both claimed outstanding success. Mark finished 1st overall and won his VM35 age cat on his course debut in 18.02, whilst Carla was the 1st female finisher (9th overall), and won her VW50 cat in 20.27.
