Cwmdu Race 2013

A decent crowd of Mynydd Du runners turned out for the new Cwmdu Race yesterday. A couple of MDC buddies were asking where we had all come from, and was it a special occasion? As it turned out, MDC grabbed the top two places, with a confident performance from Hugh Aggleton as expected, and a great run from Matt Stott who has really found some form this year and overtook Mark P on the final rubbley path. But strength in depth won Mynydd Du the (virtual) team prize, somewhat begrudgingly announced by Dick Finch!

The new venue and course were appreciated by all in perfect conditions - a hard ten miler that will certainly be on my list next year.

Notable club performances included Mark Palmer in third place, despite saving himself for the insane "City to Summit" race next weekend (good luck!), Ade Woods 1st v50 and 8th overall, and Sharon Woods 1st v50 female.

Results below, borrowed from the WFRA site spreadsheet. Anyone got any photos?

Cribyn Race finds a good home

After several good years in charge, Helen Fines has finally decided that driving down from Yorkshire to organise the Cribyn Race, as well as baking about twenty massive cakes for the runners, is not sustainable. So she's handed the race on to Mynydd Du, and Sean Taylor has stepped up to the mark as the new race organiser.

Cribyn Race

I've added the race to our races page, and Sean will continue the race's own web site with the help of Dave Austin.

It's a tough race that really sorts the men from the boys - let's hope it goes from strength to strength with Sean and Mynydd Du at the helm.
