  Martin Green - a new Welsh marathon record holder   Two NWRRC runners in Welsh record books   North Wales Road Runners have celebrated the welcome end-of-year news that two club runners have achieved notable records for Welsh Masters Athletics in 2020, despite a very problematic year due to Covid-19 problems. Martin Green proved his high-calibre yet again, this time winning a prestigious Welsh marathon record, with a new PB time of 2 hrs 28 mins 11 secs as the MV45 champion. He ran this superb time during the Running Grand Prix at the Bedford Autodrome but seems determined to try to improve on this time whenever we return to live racing again. And veteran runner Don Hale says he was both fortunate and rather surprised to claim 3 rd  place overall in the Welsh Masters record books for his placing in the MV65 age category over 60 metres.  He set a record for his performance last January at the Welsh indoor meeting at Connah’s Quay, where he won gold in 1 st place, running 11.32 secs ov
