Hi all
Please find attached a link to results and photos and news thread for Wrexham Village Bakery half marathon which was held on Sunday 19th February. Worth a look at the news thread link from runners world for thoughts on the day
http://wrexhamroadrunners.org.uk/
Blue sky and a delicate covering of snow as a backdrop on the welsh mountains made for a pleasant mornings run with Gareth Boyd and Jayne matching each other stride for stride to gain personal bests. Brilliant running!
Six Helsby runners out in total.
Thanks to Mario and Jim O’Hara and Janet Shaw for support on the day and to Carol for her excellent choice of biscuit.
Helsby positions and times as below taken from the official results

(results file does offer an apology for someone moving a key directional sign that ultimately and sadly left this race being voided as a championship race due to confusion among some of the early runners, for official position you can probably take 12 places off what you see below.)
22nd Adair Broughton 1.18.24
137th Gareth Boyd 1.32.41
139th Jayne Joy 1.32.43
