A DENBIGH Harrier made the trip across the border over the weekend.

Huw Williams ran the Birmingham Running Festival 10k on Saturday.

It was a two-lap course of Sutton Park, which was a lovely setting, although it was hillier than anticipated with 400 feet of climbing.

Huw was happy with his personal best of 42.42.

Three Denbigh Harriers faced some truly awful rain for the start of the Snowdonia Marathon, which thankfully eased up as the race got going.

Alaw Medi ran the race for the third time and she was just outside her best time for the race, which is unsurprising given the conditions, especially on the steep and slippery downhill finish.

A veteran of the Snowdonia Marathon, David Jones had a good race in the conditions and he was pleased with his finishing time.

Another veteran of the race was Peter Lester-Owen, who was running his 50th marathon, and he was not far behind.

Harriers' results: 753, Alaw Medi 4-12.09; 994, David Jones 4-27.39; 1,326, Peter Lester Owen 4-47.34

In the Porth Eirias 10k on Sunday morning, the runners faced heavy rain and large puddles, but this did not stop some great performances from the five Denbigh Harriers, with four of them getting 10k personal bests.

Displaying his continuing good form, Joe Welch was sixth overall, followed by Mat Jones, who won the M50 category.

Harrier' results: 6, Joe Welch 36.25; 25, Mathew Jones (1st M50) 42.24; 39, Melina Morris 44.46; 102, Ian Jones 51.37; 264, Jessica Jones 1-07.45.

Four Denbigh Harriers took to the hills on Sunday to run in the Clwydian Hills fell race, which is organised by the North Wales Search and Rescue team.

This tough, true fell race starts from Cilcain, ascending steeply on to the Offa's Dyke path. It then descends to the foot of Moel Arthur, traverses around Moel Famau and then ascends sharply up the gully to the Jubilee Tower before descending back to Cilcain.

This is a total of nine miles and 3,000 feet of ascent.

The weather was sunny and bright, which made the navigation much easier, but the wet mud after the recent torrential rain made conditions treacherous at times.

The first Harrier home and the 23rd man in the race was Daniel Jones, followed by Katy Baugh (third senior lady).

Sioned Lloyd was next in, followed by Menai Baugh, who picked up the F60 trophy.

Parkrun results:

Conwy: 17, Emma Collins 22.32; 141, Sally Smith 45.51; 142, John Llewelyn Thomas 45.52.

Wepre: 11, David Baugh 24.06; 19, Elen Baugh 26.01.

Pont y Bala: 22, Ruth Crowther 31.36.
