Welsh Road Relay Championships

The annual Welsh Road Relay Championships took place on Saturday afternoon in a wet and windy Pembrey Country Park. It’s a lovely venue for both the road relays and the cross country but it’s a bugger to get to! A huge thank you to Rachel Lewis for all her behind-the-scenes work in getting all the teams organised and for ensuring everyone had a number on the day.
