London Marathon week arrived with perfect weather at last.
Early in the week, the Tuesday Night Series visited Pen Dinas and three Cybis were in attendance. Jess Bibby (37:31) was first home, followed by Rick Groome (39:54) and Laura McKenzie (54:26).
As a warm up for his London adventure, Barry Smith was in Battersea Park for the 5k, finishing in 24:37.
Marathon weekend began with Ras Moel Wnion. The sole Cybi was Ellie Evans (55:55).
Marathon day itself began very early. Barry Smith took on the virtual marathon and completed the London Marathon reverse challenge in a time of 6:05:13. Barry started at midnight!
Armon Williams (36:39) came 12th overall in the hillier than expected Wrexham 10k for a new PB (llongyfarchiadau Armon!).
To Rhodes we go next, with Sara Sawicz completing the Rhodes 10k in 50:59 before enjoying a well earned day in the sun.
And the main event came...world records and 2hr marathons were smashed, millions raised for charities and thousands of runners took to the streets of London for the 2026 marathon.
The Cybi runners in London were led home by Gavin Stuart (2:24:09 for a new PB!); next was Stuart Jewell, back in Cybi colours, finishing in a brilliant 2:55:38. Elwyn Sharps came home in 4:41:16. And congratulations to Sara Jones, running with the 2026 club place, completing the course in a very strong 4:25:06! Da iawn pawb!
Diolch i Johnhuw am y llunia o Llundain! 📷

Cybi Striders are offically 40 Years old today, a brief history below from Mark Beresford one of the founder members
Cybi Striders was formed in 1986, 40 years old today!
In the early 1980’s whilst there were thriving clubs on Anglesey for those interested in other sports like football, rugby and gymnastics there was no running club at that time. A few of us mainly based around Holyhead and Valley that were interested in running often saw each other at local events and began exploring how we might set up a running club.
Discussions about forming a club started during 1985 and gathered pace in early 1986 when several administrative steps were needed to make the club official, these included drawing up a written constitution, deciding on a name (originally Cybi Striders as of today still), choosing a kit colour (originally mainly a light grey vest with a white band across the middle and black writing), selecting a Club Chairman, Captain, Treasurer and Secretary.
It wasn’t until a Welsh Amateur Athletic Association meeting on 23rd April 1986 that the Cybi Striders running club was officially recognised thus making Cybi Striders 40 years old today!
