Unfortunately, someone turned a direction sign around (twice) so the race organisers know that some runners went a shortened route of approx 11.3 miles. There is a statement and apology from them on the Wrexham Road Runners web site.

Rob Hough was one of the runners who were wrongly directed and did a shorter distance.  Colin Martin was also wrongly directed and went some distance down the wrong route, but he then turned back so his race time was for a longer distance than the half marathon.  Dave Hudd also ran longer than the half marathon route, but not quite as long as Colin!

Our other runners did the full distance although some report the distance as recorded on their Garmin was a little long at 13.2 miles.  The route was different from the usual route because of road works.  Unfortunately, Rob's run does not qualify for Club Standards or Championships but everyone else's does.

Janet Redpath's time of 2:12:55 stands as a new Striders Club FV60 record, breaking Anne Hewitt's time of 2:15:15 set in last years race.

470 finishers, last finisher in 3:12:40.  Full results are on the Wrexham Road Runners web site.
