Prestatyn Running Club members in peak form at weekend
Prestatyn Running Club's female road runner of the year Ally Reid was in Peak form off-road at the weekend. She and the club's cross-country runner of the year Sue Hughes joined a big field for the Bakewell 10-mile trail race, the shortest event in a busy day's programme which included 20k, 50k and 100k events in the Peak District. Though the course was extremely picturesque it was, unsurprisingly, very hilly. Ally was the second lady finisher overall, clocking 1-51.48, and as she was carrying an injury Sue was also very happy with her time of 2-07. A strong wind buffeted competitors in the Nova Parkrun, which probably accounted for the fact that there were no pbs. Results: 2 Dafydd Montgomery 19.17, 10 Dave Ellis 21.04, 18 Lisa Lines 22.23, 19 Jamie Betts 22.30, 31 Alex Ryder 24.00, 32 Darrell Jones 24.05, 35 Dean Longley 24.13, 41 Marc Jones 24.30, 46 Paul Sanders 24.40, 52 Philip Howarth 25.09, 55 Lewis Pierce 25.25, 93 Dan Williams 28.46, 99 Andy Scott 29.06, 113 Mike Davis 30.34. Greenfield Valley: 51 Cathy Wood 29.36. Chester: 83 Steve Weedman 26.13m 245 Debbie Weedman 33.02. Erddig: 247 Steve Hatfield 42.43. Ruthin: 5 David Hudd 20.39. Largs Bay (Adelaide): 40 Martin Cortvriend 23.39. The previous week recent recruit Lucy Woodfine was the only club member to record a pb in the Nova run, which was again affected by wind. Placings: 3 Dafydd Montgomery 19.40, 7 Dave Ellis 20.10, 11 Steve Stocker 21.06, 12 Matty Smith 21.21, 20 Swan Longley 22.09, 22 Jamie Betts 22.20, 23 Eve Manifold 22.40, 24 Alex Ryder 22.43, 30 Lisa Lines 22.58, 34 Judah Eastwell 23.03, 38 Tom Coen 23.17, 53 Paul Sanders 24.19, 58 Lily Woodfine 24.42 (pb), 65 Steve Weedman 25.10, 67 Will Lines 25.19, 68 Neil Davidson 25.26, 71 Meg Lewis 25.41. Ruthin 20 Martin Cortvriend 25.53. The club's annual social weekend in Aberdaron was once again a great success, and although injuries prevented some of those who attended from running others were able to enjoy the scenic coastal path for the first time.

Prestatyn Running Club members take on relay races in Rhyl
The club's annual relays were held around Rhyl's Marine Lake, and nine teams of three were in action, each runner completing one-mile circuit. Jonah Armstrong, fresh back from honeymoon, had a double success, not only recording the fastest individual time of the evening but also anchoring his team to victory. The other members were new recruit Lily Woodfine and supervet Neil Davidson. The aggregate time was 18.01, with the trio of Dan Williams, Emily Morrell and Andy Scott second in 18.46 and Gareth Jones, Keiley Roberts and Erin Hutchin third in 19.37. Second-fastest man was Dan Williams, with Canyon Wilson third, while Eve Manifold was the fastest lady, followed by Meg Lewis and Keiley Roberts. The prizes for the most accurate estimate of finishing times went to Simon Bonfield and Ann Claire Jones. Sunday's Colshaw Hall 10k in Cheshire once again attracted a quality field because of its reputation for being a fast course. George Williams equalled his PB, clocking 38.59 in 184th place overall. Dan Williams was 314th in 43.10, new member Fraser Paton took a minute off his pb, finishing 354th in 44.09, and Zack Webster was 587th in 50.45. Three of the club's hill specialists travelled to Snowdonia for the Tal y Mignedd race, the toughest climb in the Tuesday Evening Series of fell-races. Lee Bailey was 13th in 41.11, with fellow captain Gareth Jones 43rd in 47.10 and Ann Claire Jones again flew the flag for the club's ladies, coming 103rd in 81.00. Conditions were perfect for the Nova Parkrun, with four of the club's 11 finishers setting new PBs. Their placings were: 15 Darrell Jones 20.49 (pb), 16 Dave Ellis 20.50, 21 Marc Jones 21.36, 28 Meg Lewis 22.57 (pb – 1st female), 42 Steve Weedman 24.30, 44 Philip Howarth 24.36 (pb), 46 Zack Webster 24.38, 47 Keiley Roberts 24.41 (pb), 107 Andy Scott 29.25, 113 Mike Davis 29.55, 121 Debbie Weedman 31.16. A trio of ladies took thing steady in the Greenfield Valley Parkrun, finishing together. Jo Edwards was 59th in 37.33, Clare Manley one place and one second behind, and Sue Hughes another second behind. Other parkruns: Ruthin: 22 Arwel Jones 24.33. Park in the Past (Hope): 31 Martin Cortvriend 24.12.
