The 5K at Ffrith Beach, hosted by Prestatyn RC, used the same course as last year along the promenade and back – and like last year there was a troublesome headwind on the way back. It was a bigger race this year, favoured with bright sunshine. Ceri Diss successfully defended her W50 title with a very fast time of 20m10 in 39th place which would have been good enough for Bronze in the M50 category. Fred Jones also shone brightly, winning M60 Silver in overall 61st place. Four new members from the ‘couch to 5K’ group produced really good performances with Sali Powell starting very fast and finishing 85th, while Sian Pritchard was closing on her all the way to finish 89th. Rhian Wyn Jones looked comfortable finishing 97th and Nicola Davies stayed ahead of a chasing group in 102nd.
