Deestriders enjoy strong weekend across North Wales events
Deestriders Running Club members enjoyed a busy weekend of racing across North Wales and beyond, with club representation at Wepre, Loggerheads, Wirral, Abergele and York.
Saturday saw Wepre parkrun serve as the bonus event for October’s club parkrun blitz.
Elsewhere, at Loggerheads, Christine Cammillare took part in the 7k canicross with Reedus the Fromeranian.
The pair were going well until a wrong turn led to a disqualification for taking an inadvertent shortcut.
On Sunday, Deestriders secured age group prizes at the Wirral Way 5 miler.
David Temple finished second in the V45 category with a time of 37:40, while Paul Lewtey was third V45 in 38:06. Andy Watling (39:05) and Andy Wainwright (42:49) also completed the race.
Further along the coast, the Abergele 5k and 10k saw a strong club turnout, including several debutants at the 10k distance and recent graduates of the club’s Couch to 5k programme.
5k group leader Vikki Foulkes, despite nursing a knee injury, ensured members could travel together by arranging a minibus for the event.
