*Festive parkrunners at Rhos await the start of the Christmas Day event. Massive Christmas Day attendances at Rhos and Nova parkruns... donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025 Report by Don Hale. Photos at Rhos by Danielle Peevor, Dougie Graham and others.   It was another fantastic event and a new attendance record at the Llandrillo yn Rhos parkrun, held for the first time on Christmas Day, with over 600 finishers on a bitterly cold but bright morning, and it was similar at the Nova parkrun with over 300 entrants! Elite athletes, and club members from near and far, together with local runners and walkers – and many in festive attire – created a warm and friendly atmosphere despite the freezing temperatures. Adam Jones  was the first finisher overall in a very fast PB time of just 16 minutes and 2 seconds, and he was just one second down on the course record set the previous week by  Connor Rogers  (Wrexham AAC).        Emily Hanlon  however (GOG Triat...

Visitors set a hot pace on a cold, frosty morning at the Rhos parkrun – plus other results and reports from the region... Report by Don Hale. Photos courtesy of Michael Finnie. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025 Pictured above and below - the mass start of the Rhos parkrun. It was another jam-packed and fun-filled occasion on Saturday morning at the new Llandrillo yn Rhos (Y Promenade) parkrun last Saturday following a record-breaking attendance on Christmas Day. Despite the freezing temperatures and a generous covering of heavy frost around the region, with the icy conditions causing the cancellation of rival events at  Conwy  and at  Nova , the Rhos parkrun, possibly aided by a light layer of sand at key points, was given the green light, much to the delight of 576 eager entrants. And many runners later expressed their gratitude to the run director  Dougie Graham  and his RD colleagues,...

FESTIVE APPEAL FROM WILFRED AND FRIENDS Animal Rescue Service - Animal Ambulance and Pet Transport. 24/7 help. A Little Festive Wish… donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025 This year, to be a bit more environmentally friendly, Wilfred and Friends are asking people to consider skipping Christmas cards altogether — after all, most cards end up in the bin… but a donation goes a very long way. Our Christmas Appeal is still very much active, and we’re urgently collecting: B lankets Coats Harnesses Food If you’d prefer to donate money instead of buying cards, every penny will go directly towards our Thermal Drone Fund — a vital resource that helps us search for and save missing or vulnerable animals. Demand has never been higher; we’ve had 14 requests in the last three weeks alone. By choosing a donation over a card, you’re helping the environment and helping animals in need this Christmas. Thank you for supporting rescue animals — your kindness truly makes a difference. https://www.facebook.com/...
