JEBB COMES THROUGH TO CLAIM RACE WIN AND TITLE
A strong finish from England international Rob Jebb saw him claim victory in the Pedol Peris race from Llanberis, and thus claim the FRA championship.
The 17.5-mile race was the final event in this year's championship and Finlay Wilde (Lochaber), who started the race leading the table, look in a strong position to clinch the title when he led at Pen-y-Pass.
Jebb, who was just one point behind, then took the lead on the climb up Snowdon and held on. Morgan Donnelly (Borrowdale), who had been third in the table, came through for second place and Wilde finished third. Donnelly sliced a massive nine minutes off the M40 course record.
Mark Roberts also broke the M50 record by over two minutes. There were 165 finishers in the race.
The other record to go was in the Half Pedol (8m, 4,500ft), in which Sarah Ridgway (Eryri) took over two minutes off Joanne Moore's best.
