Nearly four-hundred mixed ability athletes and walkers took part in a very wet and windy Llandrillo yn Rhos 5k parkrun last Saturday morning, which attracted a generous number of additional volunteers and six pacers from North Wales Road Runners.
This local athletic club boosted the run director’s established team of supporters and their regular and excellent team of volunteers and marshalls, with all credit given to everyone involved on such a horribly wet day.
Visitor Simon Croft (Red Fose Runners) was the first finisher overall in just 16 minutes and 13 seconds, and he was followed by Sion Hill with a new course PB in 18.19, and Richard Conder (Low Fell RC) was a close third on his debut in 18.22. *The first female finisher (4th place overall) was Emma Knowles with a new course PB of 18.23, with visitor Natty Sinclair second in 21.19, and fellow visitor Andrea Rowlands third in 21.23. *There were 396 finishers at Rhos.
