Dozens of local runners took part in a special 5k run last Monday evening on Llandudno promenade to help keep athlete Jon Dalzell’s memory alive.
This unique event commemorated the fact that the former North Wales Road Runner tragically lost his life three-years ago, yet, for the past two years, members of the supportive Dalzell Running group, have since organised a social run with hospitality, to share recollections of his short but amazing life.
Jonathan Kettle, who was a close friend of Jon’s, and is now a coach with Dalzell Runners, later confirmed: “Monday 17th August will be three years since we lost our friend Jon Dalzell, and as in the past two years, we have had a 5km social run on the prom followed by a drink and raising a glass to Jon. Thank you to everyone that joined in at Jon’s memorial run this evening.
“We can’t go back in time to change a tragedy, but we can keep Jon’s memory alive within us. And please never forget it’s ok not to be ok! And loads of us are always here if anyone needs a talk!”
