Roman Run. September 3

The annual Tydfilians’ Roman Run returned after a two-year absence.

Due to COVID-19, the race was cancelled in 2020 – which would have marked the 40th Anniversary of the event which was restarted in 1980 to commemorate the Martyrdom of Tydfil 1600 years ago, and follows the route between the Forts of the Roman Legions stationed in Wales.

The winner was Samuel Jody Richards of Pontypridd Roadents (1:40:45) while the first female was Kelly Bowen of Croft Ambrey RC (2:11:03).

Overall: 1 S Richards (Ponty) 1:40:47; 2 S Jones (Parc Bryn) 1:47:46; 3 D Nicholls (Ponty, M40) 1:48:26
