4/11/23 Rhobell fawr.
It was wet on Saturday though the clouds were above the top - until the race began. This is pretty typical for this first race in the Meirionnydd Winter Series sponsored as always by Aran Lamb. While there were more leaves on the trees now than when the race started 21 years ago there was a chill in the air especially in the thick cloud on the summit. 70 runners started and fairly soon settled into an order that would remain to the finish. The race winner, Rhys Jones (Hebog) was back in 54:06 exactly 2 minutes ahead of Joel Gomez of Run Free with Eryri’s Sion Edwards in third in 57:27. These were the only athletes to get sub 1 hour times in these conditions. Local Meirionnydd runner Tristan Evans made 4th in 60:22 and first man over 50 Jez Brown (Buckley) was 5th in 60:34. Other age cat wins went to Mike Frost M40 (Mercia) in 64:02, Dave Powell M60 (Aberystwyth AC) in 76:19 JM under23 was Malach Bromham (Bangor Uni) in 83:49, and Pete Nicholls of Meirionnydd was 1st M70 in 99:11.
In the female race the race leader throughout was disqualified after failing a kit check. The race winner was Rhian Probert ( Mynydd Du) in 67:20 followed by Jackie Lee (Eryri) 69:39 and Ella Leonard of Bangor Uni in 70:42. Nicola Richards (Mercia) got the F40 prize in 71:42, Dwynwen Pennant (Hebog was first F50 and Vanessa Price of Meirionnydd F60 in 89:50. The Eryri team of Jackie Lee Louise Beetlestone and Eli Salisbury won the female team prize and Meironnydd’s team of Tristan Evans, David Edwards and Rhodri Ap Dyfrig took the Men’s team prize.
Runners, marshals and Mountain Rescue were appreciative of the warm atmosphere in the hall after the race and enjoyed the amazing range of soups and cakes provided
by club volunteers and local friends.We are grateful for the efforts all made to sharing transport (there is no public transport), thanks to Nannau estates and other
landowners and the village hall committee.

29/07/2023 Dolgellau 5 Mile Road race.
There were 78 keen runners (one without a number! - please don’t do that) lined up to race this year’s Dolgellau 5. The conditions were ideal although perhaps a little windy. There’d been rain overnight so some of our quiet country lanes may have been a little damp and slippery in places. Competitors were informed of a water feature close to the finish (the underpass was flooded with a couple of inches of rainwater), it all contributed to a memorable race day experience.
The race was won by Rhodri Owen of Meirionnydd Running Club with a New course record time of 26:00 minutes! The first female was Marisha De La Rouviere also of Merionnydd Running Club with another great time of 34:01. In fact the first five runners were all MRC members and all finished in under 28 minutes.
There were runners competing from 12 different running clubs illustrating the popularity of this lovely race with ages ranging from Juniors to over 75yrs.
We had one unfortunate faller and one runner pull out with a longstanding calf injury so there were 75 recorded finishers (excluding the disqualified runner without a number) – well done ALL and we will hopefully see you return next year.
Special thanks go to: Dolgellau Rugby Club, Gareth (the farmer), Dolgellau Co-op, Ashley Charlwood and his medical team at No-Mad,
ALL the marshalls and helpers, Barry / Mary and Joy (timekeeping and results and finally the Dolgellau 5 organising team for putting on this fabulous event.

10/06/2023 Dalby inferno, Ultra.
Richard hankinson said 'A great day yesterday at Dalby’s Inferno, a 50k ultra composed of 10 x 5k laps with an hour to do each before the next one starts. Massive thanks to Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team for organising and marshalling and supporting everyone. I love this race, it’s a joy to be part of. Finishing the first 9 laps allows you to run the last one and it’s your time on this that determines your finish position. Really happy with how it went, managed to save enough for a last lap of 29:30 (my fastest and over 10 minutes quicker than I did last year) which gave me a position of somewhere around 25th. Not sure of the number of entrants but perhaps 180ish. A mixture of the heat and 375ft of climbing per lap made it a tough day! The race is a fundraiser for Mountain Rescue and well worth having a go at, especially if you’ve been daunted by the thought of doing an ultra.

1/4/2023 Ras yr Aran.
A surprisingly calm and somewhat pleasant afternoon greeted the 100 runners and volunteers at this year's Ras yr Aran, the third race in Meirionnydd Running Club’s fell race Winter Series.
As this was the first race for the new committee under the guidance of Race Director Nick Leeming, the favourable weather conditions were a blessing.
The race was won by Tom Haynes (Eryri Harriers) in a time of 1 hour 30 minutes and 19 seconds which was quick enough to secure first place in the Winter Series. In second place, just under four minutes behind Tom was Jack Agnew (Mercia Fell Runners) with Ifan Oldfield (Wrexham AAC) coming home in third place.
First female to finish and also securing the Winter Series female title, making it a great day for Eryri Harriers was Jackie Lee in a time of 1 hour 56 minutes. Jules Toone (Mercia Fell Runners) and Jenny Heming (Eryri Harriers) finished 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Other notable finishes for Meirionnydd RC were Rhodri Ap Dyfrig who was the first Goat to finish and broke the course record for the fastest local runner in a time of 1 hour 51 minutes 41 seconds. Whilst Juliet Edwards was first female in the over 60 category with Debbie Cattermole finishing as the first local female. A special mention goes to fell running legend Margaret Oliver (Eryri Harriers) who had an outstanding race finishing in 3 hours 29 minutes at the tender age of 75.
The winter series was once again generously supported by Emyli and the team at Aran Lamb who also fed and watered all the volunteers free of charge. We would also like to thank all the local landowners who gave permission to run on their land, Llanuwchllyn school and the local council for parking facilities and use of the village hall and to Kevin Williams Ltd. for supplying water for all the runners.
We were once again grateful to the fabulous volunteers from Aberdyfi Mountain Search and Rescue team for being in attendance and finally a massive thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who gave up their Saturday to ensure this awesome event took place.

28/1/2023 Tarren hendre.
Race 2 in the 2022/3 Meirionnydd Winter Series saw 75 runners coming to Abergynolwyn from all points of the compass. The weather on the day was certainly nothing like normal, with a regular comment from hardened Tarren runners at the finish being ‘I never realised there was a view from the summit!’. I’m glad to say everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and it was good to see them all back and socialising at the finish.
The winner of the mens race in 50:21 was Tom Haynes of Eryri, who led through all the checkpoints and came home two and a half minutes ahead of the second placed Joel Gomes of Wrexham who had also maintained his place throughout. Third was Sion Edwards of Eryri, who picked up two places over the mountain section and came in just less than two minutes behind Joel.
In the women’s race, first home in 1:04:21 was Jackie Lee of Eryri who maintained a strong lead throughout. She finished nearly four minutes ahead of Nicola Richards of Mercia, who picked up places over the mountain and on the forest descent, only just finishing ahead of Jenny Heming of Eryri by 15 seconds. Jenny also took Juliet Edwards over 50s race record by nearly 6 minutes with 1:08:19.

Eryri were first in both the men’s and women’s team races. First Meirionnydd runners home were Ieuan Pugh-Jones in 14th and Marisha De la Rouviere in 4th.
Thanks to all the runners for joining us and particularly our volunteers for helping things to go smoothly on the day and providing soup and hot drinks in the village hall afterwards. Aberdyfi Mountain Rescue Team attended which was much appreciated, it was good to know that they were there ready should anybody have encountered problems.
The final race in the Winter Series is Ras yr Aran, we look forward to seeing you at Llanuwchllyn for that on April 1st (yes, really!).
