Cardiff Half Marathon - 06/10/24

Two of our club members took part in Cardiff Half this year.

Both Chris and George ran brilliantly and crossed the line in 2:03:16 and 2:14:08 - excellent running ladies.

The forecast was wet and as we approached Cardiff rain started. However overall we were lucky with the weather. Cool and mostly dry, a lovely temperature for running.

The route of the half marathon is super. It starts at the castle and it is one loop round the city taking in the docks. It is flattish but has a few climbs. Yesterday it felt like all of Cardiff was out to cheer us on. The support was amazing and I could have eaten my body weight in sweets.

There was also 4 water stations plus a Lucozade station and a gel station so we runners were well look after.

This is a huge event, almost 22500 runners, so there were a lot of crowds around the start and finish area. But this did lead to a great atmosphere throughout the city centre.

Thanks to Chris for this write up.

Windsor Womens 10k - 28/09/24

Well done to Amy, Georgie, Karen, Lisa, Shelley and Vikki for completing Windsor Womens 10k!

A team of 6 enjoyed a ladies weekend in Windsor to take on this lovely event. The race is set within Windsor Great Park, with the start and finish set on The Long Walk Road. There are so many sights along the route, including the Royal Lodge, the Royal School and the Statue of Queen Elizabeth II. This is such a beautiful route with a fair few hills thrown in to keep you on your toes. The last 2km is almost all downhill to the finish with beautiful Windsor Castle as the back drop.

Our team ran wonderfully at such a well organised and friendly race. Massive well done to Amy who managed to get a brilliant 10k pb on such an undulating course.

We're looking forward to returning next year.
