North Wales Road Runner Carla Green was the first female finisher at the Rhyl half-marathon last Saturday and celebrated her return from injury by smashing her age category record over this distance. Carla set a new NWRAC ‘all-time best’ record by completing the sun-drenched and breezy course in just 1 hour 28 minutes and knocked a minute and a half off an impressive record that had stood for more than ten-years! This popular event attracted over 250 quality athletes and the ultra-flat promenade route encouraged everyone who was intent on claiming new personal best times. The race was eventually won by local athlete J ames Yarwood (Abergele Harriers) in 1.13.52, with Daniel Hopwood 2nd in 1.15.41, and Carl Aveyard (Shrewsbury AC) 3rd in 1.17.52. *Male and female race winners (*above) C
