A big turnout and numerous prizes for Buckley (including the gnome?). Nice weather and the usual friendly atmosphere. The Guinness Book of Records has been contacted ('most runners in a very small pub' category).

Ras yr Aran

Misty and breezy on the ridge from Aran Benllyn to Aran Fawddwy, with a few deep snow drifts, but otherwise conditions not as bad as forecast. A nice day out.

Lake Vyrnwy Half Marathon 12th September


Entry form now available, very popular event and will fill up quickly

Rhayader Round the Lakes

A couple of Buckley-ites made the journey down to Rhayader to take part in one of Runners World's 'most scenic races'. Thankfully this description turned out to be true as it kept you from thinking about the pain that you were going through - some more than others.

Shaun had an excellent run coming 35th in 2hr 23mins
Dave was next in 2hr 41mins, but just thankful to get to the end
and Rob completed the intrepid team in 3hr 25mins

One for the calendar for next year !!
