Wyedean Relay

The inaugural Wyedean Relay took place on Saturday and was a 75k race around the Wye Valley split into 10 legs.

We had two teams running the legs of between 4k and 11k some of which featured some tasty hills.

Sabotaged by a Hedgehog?

Apart from the flat tire and the occasional wrong turning on some legs, everyone completed their legs and we finished 15th and 21st out of 37 teams.

Half Marathon

Disappointing that Steven didn’t don a frock for the 5k race!

Port Talbot Half Marathon

Matthew, Dave, Katie and Claire were at Port Talbot for the half marathon on Sunday. It’s Claire’s fave half marathon hence the big smile and perhaps she knew that she would get a 2 minute course PB and an overall half marathon PB!
