Three Road Runners competed in two different but challenging races at the Tywyn Rotary Club’s ‘Race the Train’ events held last weekend which utilised the famous Talyllyn Railway. Run over farm tracks, open fields, and rich pastures, with options to take part in any one of four varied distances ranging from 3.5 miles to 14 miles, this was the 37th annual race series, and it attracted hundreds of competitors from across the UK. Whatever distance selected, the runners were later distributed by coach or train to their agreed starting points at various stations along the line, and then given the arduous task of trying to beat the train back to the finish at Tywyn. Kay Hatton and Cheryl Frost ran in the Quarry Challenge 10k and both members were pleased with their performances on a warm and windy day. Kay ran well and finished 75th out of 256 entran
