At Croups, we pride ourselves on being a club who’s members take part in a variety of events over lots of different terrain, and last weekend proved that in spades 👇

We first start with the track events. On Wednesday, Ed Foster ran a hugely impressive 1:58 in the 800m in Watford. This was followed on Saturday by impressive runs from Alfie and Vaughan in the 1500m inter regional races in Carmarthen! 🙌

From track, to Fell racing, on Saturday evening in 30 degree heat, Sam Wilson finished 7th in the Guto Nyth Bran race in Caerphilly! Dom Shields also competed in the 6 mile race with almost 1300 feet of climbing! 🧗‍♀️

From fell racing, to, according to Arwel, “some mental 50 mile trail race in the Alps”, where the brilliant Lowri Morgan finished 11th amongst in a high quality field! The event in question is called the Trail Verbier St-Bernard Trail Race!

Turning to Sunday, Louise Flynn finished 🥇 Lady and 🥈 overall in the Ludlow Half Marathon. Gareth Logan came 🥈 overall in the 5k. We have been informed that Gareth and Louise got the train down, so they lead the standings in furthest travelled by train for a Sunday morning race 🚂

From Ludlow to Torfaen Paul Francis finished an impressive 🥈 in the V50 age category with a fab time 35:20 in the Mic Morris 10k! 🔥

In the Ammanford 10k, Janneke Van Beijnum finished 🥇 in the F45 age category, with Emyr Morgan finishing 🥈 M50! Huge results from the super couple 👏

Lastly, but very much not least, a huge well done to Tim Gibbons for completing the Half Ironman in Swansea! Tim finished 8th in his age group, absolutely top performance! 🙌
