Three Denbigh Harriers’ women made their mark on the Clwydian hills last night in the Moel y Plas race. This 4.8 mile race sets off from Graigfechan, up the road, onto the mountain, climbing steeply for over 1000ft up to the summit of Moel y Plas. The descent is a joyful dash in the dark… On-form Rhian Pierce battled with another female on the ascent but Rhian’s fast and skilful descent gained her 6th position overall out of 27 runners and First Female in an impressive time of 42 mins. 22secs. Katy Baugh, not far behind, had a storming run and was Third Female and 10th position overall in a time of 45 mins. 12 secs. Menai Baugh, thoroughly enjoying being back on the hills, finished in 19th position overall and 5th Female in a time of 51 mins. 36 secs.
Vicrtoria Whitehead competed in the EnduranceLife 15mile Trail Race in the North York Moors. This was a tough route with 2000ft of climbing, but with stunning views along the East coast, starting in Ravenscar. The recent rain made some of the paths very muddy & slippy but the rain held off for the race and was sunny. There was a good variety of terrain with coastal path to Robin Hood’s Bay, a beach section, fields, paths and plenty of mud ! Fantastic support along the route from Jon Whitehead helped as She had to dig deep in the final few miles uphil across open moorland. Victoria was pleased with 13th lady and 1st female vet in a time of 2:39.
