REPORTS
Dive into our round-up of club members competing in yellow and blue. It’s a mix of road, track (indoors and out), field events, relays, running across muddy fields, and up some terribly steep hills. From our youngest to our super-vets, we want to celebrate the achievements of our club.

Over the weekend of 20th-21st Feb, a group of Bridgend AC toed the line for the ‘Marathon of a Weekend Challenge’ – each covering the marathon distance, 26.2 miles.
Running from their front doors, individuals and teams competed against local rivals Porthcawl Runners, Cornelly Striders, Ogmore Phoenix, Brackla Harriers and Pencoed Panthers.
The marathon was split into a 5k at 9am on Saturday, followed by half marathon at 1pm. Sunday kicked-off with a 10k a 10am, then an off road 4.5k at 1pm, ending with an all-out mile effort on tired legs at 4pm.
Our Aged to Perfection team triumphed in the team event finishing in a fine 3:05:08. Richard Dando notched up a sub 3 performance for second overall in the individual standings in 2:54:11. And Gina ‘crossed the line’ first female in 3:32:49.
Check out the full results.
