Croups also shone in other age categories:

A shoutout to Mick McGeoch who was pleased to record a one second negative split on the day, expert pacing from the club legend 👊

Turning from Cardiff to Telford, we had several members taking part in the 10k:

James Craddock was back soon after in 35:33, a huge 45 second PB and Paul Francis in 36:02, a big PB for Paul too! Mia Goddard was first home for the women in a brilliant 37:12, Louise Flynn finished an amazing 6th F40 in 37:57! 😮

From Road, to sand. A bumper group of croups took part in the Merthyr Mawr Pudding Race on Sunday! Our members were impeccably dressed in lovely festive attire and expertly took on the 10km of hills, sand and water! 👏

Lastly, we turn to Malaga, where we had Peter Gillibrand taking part in the marathon. Pete finished in a brilliant 4:01:17, an excellent 14 minute PB! In the half, Jack Reddaway recorded an expertly executed 1:21:16, vamos!
