Report by Don Hale.
Three members of North Wales Road Runners competed in the Sale Sizzler 5k race last Thursday night which included a quality field of 642 elite and top cub runners.
Martin Green enjoyed another great run and finished 37th overall and he was 3rd in his MV45 age category in a fast chip time of 16 minutes and 19 seconds. Will Williams continued his excellent form in 87th place, and he was 4th in his MV50 cat in 17.35, with Jamie Tharme 223rd in 20.24.
This popular summer event again attracted a massive field and incredibly there was only a matter of a few seconds between the top nine athletes, with the first twenty-seven runners all dipping under sixteen seconds.
The overall race was won by Nicholas Barry (Sale Harriers) in 15.00, with Thomas Charles (Chorlton Runners) 2nd in 15.02, and Rhodri Owen (Meirionnydd RC) finished 3rd in 15.04. Jen Walsh (Leeds City) was the 1st female athlete home in 17.01, with Emilia Platt (East Cheshire & Tameside AC) 2nd in 17.50, and Elizabeth Renondeau(Vale Royal) claimed the 3rd place in 17.50.
