WESTON TAKES TITLE AT THE DOUBLE

Wrexham's Daniel Weston completed a double in the Wrexham Marathon, displaying remarkable consistency as he did so.

 In March, 2015, he won the inaugural race in 2-35.59 and followed it up with victory in the Chester MBNA Marathon in 2-35.11.  This time the Wrexham race incorporated the North Wales championship and Weston took the title in 2-34.05.

 In second place, in 2-38.22, was Russell Bentley (Eryri), who had competed in the Pipe Dream fell race less than 24 hours earlier. His clubmate Andrea Rowlands was the ladies' champion and first in the open race with a time of 3-02.04.

 Wrexham Half was won by Liam Crane (Blackpool and Fylde), in 73 .37, with veteran Vicky Williams first lady home in 89.33.

 The 20-mile race held at the same time was won by Martin Green (NWRR), who is training for next month's London Marathon. While he was winning in Wrexham his wife Carla was winning her class in the Anglesey Half.

Full results can be found on the TDL Events website.
