Eryri's Richard Roberts and Andrea Rowland's took time out from mountain running to win the Senior Men/Women's North Wales 10km titles which was incorporated into the Caernarfon 10km road race on Sunday 30th August
Weather conditions were overcast, dry and warm with a slight head wind along the Menai Straits which got stronger after the 2km mark, though nothing to what we have experienced in the past! Richard stayed with 2007 race winner and club mate Gwyn Owen along the Menai Straits until the left turn after the 4km mark when Richard opened up a gap on Gwyn which he maintained and extended to the finish at the Coed Helen Recreational Grounds in a time of 33:29 with Gwyn 2nd in 33:57 while Brendan Rothery had another good run to finish 5th in 34:59.
Andrea Rowland's led from the start to win the women's title in a time of 40:02. Eryri's other North Wales Championship winners were: MV/50 Arwel Lewis 38:22 and MV/65 Emyr Davies 44:12 who added yet another North Wales title to his vast collection! ahead of club mate Don Williams 44:58.
