Trail, Road and Track & Field Events in April and May: Results Round-Up (30th April - 8th May)

Saturday 30th April - Sunday 8th May: it was a busy week for Carmarthen Harriers' older sprinters, endurance runners, throwers and jumpers with more than 20 athletes competing at seven events in the space of a week.

  • Aberystwyth,
  • Cardiff,
  • Chelsmford,
  • Carmarthen,
  • Llanybydder

Ten athletes travelled to Devil's Bridge near Aberystwyth for the Red Kite Trail Challenge 2022 incorporating the West Wales & Welsh Trail Running Championships. On a challenging course, there were three Welsh trail champions (William Coles - U13, Iwan Thomas - U15 & Amelia Williams - U13) & eight West Wales medals won in the regional trail championships.

The Cardiff 5K - Race For Victory 2022 incorporating the Welsh 5K Road Racing Championships returned to its usual May slot on Sunday evening on the streets of Whitchurch.

Into the Bank Holiday Monday (2nd May), the 39th running of the Carmarthen Mayor's Fun Run Races and Ras Dyffryn Cledlyn 5 Mile & Junior Races made a welcome return after two years out and saw a number of club members take part.

The same weekend also saw the BUCS & BT Outdoor Athletics Championships 2022 head to Chelsmford Athletics Centre where there were great performances from athletes representing their universities. Congratulations to Ben Thomas who won a silver medal and set a new club record in the senior men's 3000m Steeplechase (9:04.35) in Chelsmford.

At the beginning of a new track and field season, the Welsh Athletics Event Specific Open Meetings also began at the beginning of May. Firstly, it was the Run With The Wind & Field Events Meeting in mid week followed by the Endurance & Jumps Open Meeting four days later, both held at Cardiff International Sports Stadium for under 17, under 20 and senior age groups.

As part of the Red Kite Challenge Series, Ras yr Hafod took place at the nearby Hafod Estate last Wednesday evening on a picturesque course.
