We start our roundup in Gloucester on Saturday, where Matt Hopkins indulged in his love for cross country by guesting at Gloucestershire XC in Cirencester! Hope you had a great run Matt! 😍

The most popular race for Croups on Sunday was the Richard Burton 10k, a dedicated post will be coming later this week!

Therefore, we start abroad in Porto, where Ryan was 🥇 Welshman in Porto 10k, finishing in an impressive 35:29! Although she is not a member of Croups, shoutout to Elle Farrah who’s not a member of croups (yet 😉) who completed the Marathon 👏

Taking a short hop over the border now, congratulations to Dave George who completed the Media Maratón Pilar de la Horadada. This is the first of a trio of Halfs he plans to complete during his time in the Sun ☀️

From Sunny Spain to the sunny hills of Caerphilly, we had several members running in the Twmbarlwm terror, a 7️⃣ mile multi terrain race involving lots of hills & mud!

Carl Nealon was first home in,60:41, followed by Nathaniel Palmer in 73:50.

Aileen Lyons was next in 74:05 finishing a brilliant 6th female Senior, with Cassie Summers following shortly after in 75:19! Da iawn Pawb 👏 🏴

To the streets of NYC, several members took part in the New York Marathon on Sunday! First home for the club was Susie Bowes in 3:21:06, followed by Claire Jacobs in 3:36:15. Phil Smith was home soon after in 3:51:59, with Owain Griffiths back in 3:58:31! The formidable Judi Rhys was in action too, finishing 33rd in her age category (W65) in 4:01:19! 😮
