It a very busy Saturday coming up if you are a runner in North Wales, as usual the various early morning park runs will kick things off. I haven’t done one yet but everybody I speak to who has seems to thoroughly enjoy them, my excuse is an early opening cafe, what’s yours?

Then we have the Trefriw Mill Fell race, could well need good navigational skills if the forecast comes to fruition. A counter for both the WFRA North Wales & Welsh championship so a good & large field is expected, good luck to Gill & her team & of course all the runners too, again I’ll be missing.

Next up is the first of this seasons XC Series in Wrexham, I owe Becky an appearance for her great support during our Reach Out for Nepal day but sadly not at this one, best I can do is say Good luck to Becky & the Eryri runners I am sure you can squelch through the mud to get Eryri a great result.

Finally there are rumours that my feet will finally be putting in an appearance at Coed y Brenin in the Petzl Night Race that kicks off at 6:00 pm, a race with a great atmosphere more or less in my back yard. An exit strategy from the cafe has been planned for 4:00 pm & involved me suggesting my support team bring their 3 kids along, motivation indeed to keep on running for the full 3 hours!

Hope you are taking part, or helping, or simply supporting one or more of these, whatever the weather throws at us lets get out & enjoy it, have a great weekend!
