VAUGHAN WIN TAKES HIM TO LONDON
When Eryri's Alun Vaughan lined up for the start of the Conwy Half-Marathon he had one thing in mind - and 70 minutes later it was a case of "job well done".
On his first attempt at the distance he was determined to get inside 75 minutes, earning him qualification for next year's London Marathon, which will also be his first.
He achieved it with five minutes to spare, crossing the line in 70.31 after leading from the gun. He finished, over three minutes ahead of clubmate Brendan Rothery, who was third last year, albeit in a slightly faster time.
As the race incorporated the North Wales championship Vaughan also took the regional title.
Third finisher was Deeside veteran Lee Jones, who was also making his half-marathon debut.
The first woman home was Sarah Cumber (Halifax), who also finished three minutes clear of her nearest challenger, Sarah Caskey (unattached).
