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.
