Bryn Meadows Caerphilly 10K, Wales, May 19

Matt Clowes and Rachel Felton both ran event records to claim victory, Alex Donald reports.

Cardiff Man Clowes was a convincing winner over the undulating course in a race which forms the first fixture in the 2019 Welsh 10k Series.

With the halfway mark passed in 15:06 and despite a stiff climb at the 9km point, Clowes came home in 30:22, 11 seconds ahead of his mark from last year.

James Hunt was second in 31:09 followed by Dan Bodman in third.

“It’s a hilly course,” said Clowes. “I enjoyed it, though. It was a good test and it was good to run faster than I did last year because that was run on tired legs, following the London Marathon.

“My main aim for later in the year will be the BMW Berlin Marathon.”

Felton was equally convincing in her victory which came nearly two minutes ahead of Lucy Marland. Her winning 35:01 sliced a second of the previous record set by track specialist Rhianwedd Price in 2016.

Alaw Beynon-Thomas was third just weeks after her marathon debut in Newport.
