Llanfair TH Mountain Race ~ 28/7/2007

Four Harriers took part in the Llanfair TH Mountain run this year, a race of just over 10k, with Sean McCormack winning the race for the third time in four years, in a fantastic time of 38mins 37secs, just one second slower than two years ago, but over an extended course. Steven McCormack, was third overall in a very good time of 40mins 42secs, a personal best for the course by several minutes and just forty seconds off the second placed runner, Gary Rees Williams of Menai Track and Field. Russ Godwin of Colwyn Bay AC was fourth in a fine time of 42mins 20secs, with Abergele’s Haydn Jones running a superb race in preparation for the upcoming Race the Train in Tywyn, finishing in 48mins 23secs. Carol Willgoose, Abergele’s fourth runner on the day, was first lady home in a fantastic time for this very difficult course, just behind Haydn in 48mins 41secs, with Vicky Ronald of Colwyn Bay AC second lady home, in 51mins 28secs. Steven McCormack, not content with third position in the Mountain Run, then went on soon afterwards to win the 18 years and under 100m race, on the sports field.

Three Abergele Harriers were among the small field that competed in the Llanfair TH Mountain Race, a 10k road race across the mountain in Llanfair that is always very keenly contested by the Harriers. For the second year in succession the race was won by Sean McCormack, this year in a personal best time for the course of 38mins 36secs. McCormack was pushed very hard in the first half of the race by both Steven Robinson (an ex-Harrier now running with the RAF) and Ed Reid (winner two years ago), but pulled away from them both over the mountain. Robinson did get the better of Reid in the long run-in, the pair finishing in 40mins 17secs and 40mins 36secs respectively. Craig Jones, representing the North Wales Police, was forth, with another Harrier, Chris Arnold in 5^th in an excellent time of 47mins 37secs. Other local finishers included Wyn Merion (52.40) and AJ Robshaw (56.27), both of Abergele Rugby Club.
