Ras Fawr Llanddoged 2014

This year Allington Hughes Ltd t/a Cyfraith JRL Law sponsored the annual 12.5km Ras Fawr Llanddoged on Sunday 7th September.

The race is performed along one of the most scenic courses in Wales as its challenging route follows the rural lanes above the village of Llanddoged near Llanrwst in the Conwy Valley.

Whilst this year’s race was slightly down on the quantity of its runners, the quality of the runners and the times more than made up for this with all the top 3 runners postings times which would have won 8 of the last 15 events. 

First to finish was Prestatyn RC runner Dean Longley whose time of 44 minutes 25 seconds was the second fastest time ever (beaten only by ex GB International runner, and 6 time Snowdon Race winner, Andi Jones). Second to finish was Brendan Rothery (45m45s-PB) who had won the race three times previously and who finished just over a minute ahead of local resident, and first over 40, John Ford (46m48s-PB). 

The first lady to finish was Abbie Cheetham, also of Prestatyn RC, who knocked a fantastic 13 and a half minutes off her time the previous year to finish in 57minutes 57 seconds. Second lady to finish was Emma Collins (60m1s), with Gemma Brown (62m20s) third. 

Other category prizes went to Darren Blazier, Kevin Slattery, Tony Hill and Kay Hatton. The Bob Owen Memorial team prize went to the Abergele Harriers, the Arfon Jones Memorial Prize for the first member of the North Wales Road Runners club to finish went to John Ford and the prize for the first unattached local runner went to Tomos Smith. 

We were delighted to be involved with a great local event together with our friends at Spar Llanrwst who very kindly provided water and sports drinks to keep the participants going.
