THERE were just a handful of Road Runners at the Conwy parkrun on Saturday morning due to a clash of other fixtures.
240 brave social and club athletes welcomed bright and sunny weather as they tackled the waterlogged 5k riverside course from the RSPB Nature Reserve.
Mark Davies back in action at Conwy parkrun
And the highlight of the day was to note that NWRRC athlete Mark Davies continues to build back his fitness following a devastating accident, with a great new course PB of 34.50, knocking well over a minute from his previous best.
NWRRC Stuart Culverhouse.
Stuart Culverhouse dashed through the numerous puddles following the previous night’s downpour, to finish 10th overall in 20 mins 17 seconds and he won his VM50 age cat.
In addition, Richard Scamans continued his rapid improvement to record a good time of 22.33 in 30th place, whilst veteran Tony Gibson enjoyed another excellent performance finishing 77th in 26.16, and 3rd in his VM65 age cat.
