A large number of North Wales based athletes formed part of the Welsh Masters team that competed at the Shrewsbury 5k Running Festival last Saturday against England Masters.


Meirionnydd RC had two members in the top ten finishers including Rhodri Owen, who was 3rd overall out of 331 elite runners in 14.57, with Tomos Roberts 7th in 15.11, and former NWRRC member Martin Green, a top veteran, now with his new first claim club, also enjoyed a great run in 53rd place in 16.53.

North Wales Road Runners had five members involved with the famous red vest, and they all recorded good times with Will Williams 104th in 18.12, Steve Gardner 140th in 18.56, Carla Green 220th in 21.16, Cheryl Frost 246th in 23.44, and Karen Butler 250th in 24.41.


After the race, Martin Green said: “Another great day doing what I love best, with the ones I love best for the country I love best. Welsh masters fixture v England at Shrewsbury. Neither Carla or I were at our best, but we showed up and put in a decent shift. That must be at least the tenth time representing Wales something I always dreamed off as a child and it is always the utmost honour.”
