There was a tremendous turn-out of some 200 mixed ability entrants at the Conwy parkrun last Saturday morning, and they all helped to celebrate their 8th anniversary, despite very wet and blustery conditions. Many runners additionally wore unique themed costumes for this special birthday event but later probably wished they had also taken their wellies to help cope with this challenging and puddle-filled 5k course. GOG Triathlete Simon Cole was the first runner home overall, and won his MV40 age cat in just 18 minutes and 23 seconds, with Aled Hughes 2nd, and just twelve seconds behind Simon in 18.35. NWRRC’s Carla Green was the 1st female runner and the VW50 cat winner in 22.33, with Lizzie Irvine (GOG Triathlon) 2nd in 23.41, and Katie Cotton (Long Eaton) 3rd in 23.54. *Ste
