Who are we?
We are a running club based on Anglesey that welcomes all runners, regardless of ability. We meet every Monday in Llangefni at 6:30pm and every Wednesday at 6:30pm at one of our weekly locations to run 4-6 miles.
Club Members regularly take part in local running events as well as travelling throughout the UK and abroad to run. The Club is part of the Borders League, a North Wales and North West running competition, as well as being part of the North Wales Cross Country League.
In addition to taking part in running events, we also meet up for regular training events, social runs and nights out. The Club has also hosted several successful beginners courses, which have seen runners going on to join the Club and take part in half and full marathons.

Onto this last week, Saturday saw the Aberystwyth Charity 10k, Laura McKenzie finished in 46:31, 3rd F40.
Louise Brookwell and Jess Bibby started in Prestatyn and ran from Sea2Summit. Louise completed the Half Marathon (and a bit!) (Yes, that's the name of the race!) in 2:51:10, 2nd Lady, 7th o/a. Jess ran just a bit further, finishing the Ultra distance in 6:47:47, 1st Lady and 4th o/a. Fantastic performances by both!
A drizzly Sunday saw the worst weather thankfully avoid Trac Môn allowing our Borders League round to finally get underway (at the 3rd attempt!). To blow our own trumpets, the feedback has been brilliant and thank you to everyone who helped, ran, supported and more in making it a success!
