Runners faced torturous weather conditions including non stop rain and gale force winds!

Next up were the half marathoners – Kevin Brennan took the troop home, followed by Rachael Fishwick.
Next up was Paddy Lee, John Murphy, Gill Lee and Simon Poole, rounded up by Anita Hall and Ruth Besford.
Finally four Striders ran the marathon – Gary Spriggs, Jen Laurence, Chris Falls and Anita Hill Jones all completed the gruelling challenge.
Meanwhile Chris Reid ran the Rhyl 10miler in a new PB of 69:44.
Roger Haslett also took part in the great north west half marathon in Blackpool in a new PB of 1:43:22.
