Radcliffe AC chairperson Donna Cartwright had a race week to remember.

Finishing second lady and first in her age category (LV45) at the Cowm Reservoir 5k multi-terrain race in a time of 22mins 7secs, she then completed the not-so-small task of the North Wales 50k Ultra Challenge later in the week.

And if that was not enough, Cartwright, competing in her first ever ultra-marathon, finished in an epic time of 6:00:16 to claim first lady and third place overall.

The 50km, which is in fact just under 54km, starts in the Nova at Prestatyn, before taking runners to the beach at West Shore, Llandudno with an overall ascent of 2,700 feet to contend with.

There was a fantastic turnout of Radcliffe racers at the Wray Scarecrow 10k last weekend. First over the line for Radcliffe was Andrew O’Donnell in 41:04, while Sheila Jones came first in her age category (V65) with a time of 50:35.

Also running at the event, which is part of the Wray Scarecrow Festival, were Mark Williams (43:47), Mark Garner (45:02), Dave Rushton (48:22), Dominic Parry (49:00), Kathryn Davies (54:38), Wayne Holden (1:06:57) and Sara Parry (1:21:06).

Radcliffe Athletes were also in action at the Bolton Community 10k including new member Lisa Antrobus, who set a new personal record in her first showing in a Radcliffe vest, with a smashing time of 50:41.

Elsewhere, Karen Doherty took part in the Keswick Round the Houses in 41:18, while Mike Kay was across the pond, finishing the Boston Marathon in a time of 3:51:02.
