The sun shone as thousands of runners descended on Caerphilly for the annual Bryn Meadows Caerphilly 10k run on Sunday (19th May 2019).
The ever-popular run, which attracts runners from across Wales and beyond, saw Cardiff AAC’s Matthew Clowes cross the 10k finish line first, setting a new course record in a time of 30 minutes and 22 seconds. Matthew was followed by Cardiff AAC’s James Hunt in second place and Aberdare AAC’s Daniel Bodman who finished third.
The first female to cross the finishing line was Rachel Felton of Shaftesbury Barnet, who completed the course in 35 minutes and one second. Lucy Marland of Cardiff AAC finished second and Alaw Beynon-Thomas of Swansea Harriers finished third.
The 2k fun run event also proved as popular as ever, with almost 1,000 people participating. Tomos Edwards was the first male to cross the finish line and Yasmin Hadid was the first female.
By taking advantage of an early bird sign up offer, 10k participants will pay just £15 entry fee (plus £1 booking fee).
