Chepstow Harriers annual evening event attracted 222 entries this year. The weather was perfect and FODAC had 16 runners take part in the 10K race, which starts and finishes at Tintern’s Abbey Mill. The course follows the river and then there is a climb of 600 feet to the Offas Dyke path, the track then goes back down hill to finish. A tough run and the beer at the finish was well received.
The winner was Matt Collins in a time of 37.16 and the first lady was Clara Evans of Pontypridd A C in 45.04. There was one FODAC winner: Jacqui Wynds took the LV60 prize in a time of 59.25.
