As the sun shone at last, over 40 members took part in our annual Xmas Festive event, this time held on Crymlyn Burrows. Adorned with Xmas fancy dress the runners grappled with the vague contours and complex path network.
Great fun was had by all and some close competitions. Megan Mitchell won the Green course ahead of William Reynolds and Freddie Lake. Emily Peltor won the light green with Diana McClure and Anthony Payne in 2nd and 3rd respectively. On the Orange Course it was a clean sweep for the Beaman-Tucker family with Mara finishing ahead of brothers Feldon and Pascoe. Well done to all that completed the courses. Full results Here.
