The weather was a lot kinder for the Fan y Big Race - sunshine and the occasional shower.
Felix McGrath (Bristol & West) won the race by several minutes over Robin Woods (Builth) and Wilf Evans (CDF), who had a close battle for second place. Rhian Probert was similarly dominant in the women's race, 6 minutes ahead of Clare Ponsford (Unattached), with Naomi Law (Brecon AC) in 3rd.
Cambridge Harriers surprised themselves by winning the Men's team prize, with Christian Poulton, James Floyd and Clem Dixon.
As on the Saturday, Mynydd Du were victorious in the women's team race, with Rhian Probert, Debbie Stenner, and Hilary Keogh counting.
At prize giving we somehow forgot to announce the prizes for the overall weekend, so we owe Andrew Tyler (Hereford Couriers) and Rhian Probert (Mynydd Du) a bottle of champagne each!
Once again, we all enjoyed our ales from local brewery Antur Brew Co.
Thanks to the marshals: Robin Flower, Mike, Andrew and Tony Law, Robert Flower on parking, and to Adrian and Fabian 4 for timing and online entry.
