Report by Don Hale.

Three NWRRC athletes took part in the Anglesey trail races last Sunday with Jonathan Kettle winning a deserved bronze medal in the tough half-marathon race after finishing 3rd in this prestigious and challenging event.

Jonathan fought a keen battle throughout with the eventual winner Russell Bentley (Eryri Harriers) and James Logue to claim a welcome place on the podium. The winning time was 1 hour 18 minutes and 18 seconds, with James recording 1.24.29, and Jonathan 1.28.30, and 2nd place in his MV40 age category.

Jonathan Kettle later admitted: ‘What a stunning route, and even though it makes racing tough when there is no one close to race, it’s good for the head, even if the body is suffering.’

Steve Bozier also tackled the gruelling half-marathon race and enjoyed a good performance to finish 21st overall in 1.39.02 and 8th in his age cat.

Charlotte-Rose Wilton-Jones completed a successful outing in the Anglesey 10k trail event and finished as the 8th female runner, 27th overall, and she was 6th in her F-Open age cat in 55 minutes 14 seconds.
