Seven NWRRC athletes ran in the near waterlogged Conwy parkrun completing a challenging course, battered by near monsoon conditions the previous day, yet despite the problems, more than two-hundred mixed ability runners and tourists still turned out, with two club members even claiming deserved age category wins.  Another seven members hit the road again as parkrun tourists during the half-term break and recorded some good results at Penrith, Swansea Bay, Newent Park, Shrewsbury, and Henley-on-Thames. Harry Driscoll  was the pick of the team at Conwy finishing 9th overall and 2nd in his SM20-24
