Sunday saw 22 Denbigh Harriers complete the annual Johnson’s Monument race. The race has been run for the last 26 years over a tough six mile cross country course around Denbigh. This years race was thought to be one of the muddiest for years. Luckily the morning was dry but it was cold meaning a good warm up was important. . Because of the mud many of the performances listed below were slower than last year. The winner of the handicap race was David spence managing to keep his training partner Roger Snaith at bay as he was closing him down in the finishing straight. The third runner home was Peter Lester Owen who has been improving all year. The first woman was Emma Collins in a great time followed by Menai and Katy Baugh. The fastest time overall was Glen Price in an impressive time of 45:12 with the fastest woman, Rhian Pierce, finished in 49:37.
