Jubilee Plunge - CANCELLED

Message from Martin:

"Bit late I know but I'm calling it off tomorrow. Rock hard iceunderneath a smearing of slippery mud. Doesn't make any sense to race it - but come overfor a pint by all means - I'll be there!"

Christmas Fun Run

Despite the snow and the icy conditions there was a good turnout for the annual Eryri Harriers Fun Run on Sunday 20th December at Llanberis, though because of the inclement weather conditions the race route had to be shortened from the usual 5.5miles around Padarn Lake to a 3.26kms race to the old quarry hospital and back with Richard Roberts winning in 12:25 with Anna Bartlett the first female finisher in 14:27, still a few of the fun run entrants did run the whole route at a much more leisurely pace while a few walked the route. Santa, alias John Carson completed the race in 24:22.
In the London Marathon Club Entries Draw the four names drawn from the hat were: Stuart Mason. Richard Roberts. Ashley Wager and Merfyn Williams. We wish them all the best in their training for the April 25th 2010 event.
Thank you to our hosts once again The Legacy Royal Victoria Hotel Llanberis for their welcome and for supplying the soup/rolls and mince pies.
