We start our roundup catching up on results from last Wednesday, where members were in action at the Sorbook Tough 10k!

Congratulations too, to Geoff Wright, who finished a brilliant 🥇 M75 on the night in 1:15:05! 👏
Turning to the weekend, and we had an abundance of croups in action at the Rabbit run in Merthyr Mawr. Here’s a summary of the results:
In the 12k:
Wayne Humphrey’s 🥇 M50
Alfie Sargeant 🥉 MU20
Carol Rees 5th F50
Rob Sage 9th M40
On Sunday, James Prosser took a magnificent🥈 overall in the dragon 50 mile coastal ultra. Starting in Kenfig and ending in Cardiff Bay, James tackled dramatic dunes and cliff tops. Absolutely amazing result 👏
It is also worth mentioning that James also completely the Rabbit Run the day before - incredible effort 👏
Last night, we had a couple of croups starring at the British Milers club races in Aberdare!
👉 Ed Foster ran a brilliant 2:01:61 in the 800m
👉 Colin Williams ran a fantastic 2:19:74 in the 800m. This is a seasons best for Colin, and also only 0.19 seconds away from the M60 Welsh record!
👉 Vaughan Edwards ran a storming 4:16:24 in the 1500m
Lastly, but very much not least. We don’t usually do parkrun shoutouts, but this week we make an exception. Emily Fell broke the female course record by almost a minute at Henley Wood parkrun in Oswestry last weekend. She was also the first ever female to P1 in the event. A fantastic achievement 👏
