The 2014 NEWSAR Fell Race took place on Sunday 2nd November. A field of 140 runners took part on what was a mostly sunny and breezy day, although some rain arrived later.

Seven Clwydian Range runners took on the 15km route with Dan Hurst (91.26), Chris Wilcox (91.51), Stephen Jones (102.58), Gareth Jaggard (104.52), Eifion Matthias (119.33), James Pugh (119.47) and Susan Ridings (137.48).

The event raised a fabulous £781.93 from entry fees, cake sales and other donations on the day.  The whole team is grateful to all the runners who took part.

Hell runner – Delamere forest – 1^st Nov 2014.

CRR runner Neil Coppack took part in the grueling challenge that’s known as the Hell Runner. Neil managed an impressive time and an 11^th position overall.   Perhaps with a little less cake Neil could have made the top 10 !

Friday saw the return of the Dash in the Dark series held at Coed Llandega.

A large turnout with a total of 61 runners set off into the dark forest for 6km of unknown !

The weather had been wet in the days leading up to the first race in the series, but on the night the clouds cleared to reveal the full moon.

First back in a blistering time was Karl Steinegger, Ambleside AC on (25:15), closely followed by Thomas Hiles, (25:41) and Dean Yarwood (29:32).

First of the ladies back was Sarah Ryder , Wrexham Tri (33:16), then Sandra Rowlands, Eryri (33:25) and Claire Sutcliffe, Chester Tri (33:45).

A big thank you goes to the hosts at One Planet Adventure, for the facilities and lovely hot soup. Thanks also to all the marshals / helpers on the day.
