Here’s the report that’ll go on Welsh Fell Running website:

Chepstow Harriers, whose Club Championship it was, provided 37% of the field, but their leading man Paul Murrin couldn’t stop Mynydd Du’s Martin Shaw from repeating last year’s victory.

A very warm Spring day with a slight but refreshing breeze may have accounted for the slower leading times: that of Martin, 63.32, was a full seven minutes short of his record, while leading woman Helen Fines, at 74.47, was also four minutes behind her record.

First M40 Crispin Flower was well placed in 3^rd, just two places above first M50 Pete Gardner. Les Williams, leading M60, was also well positioned in the top half.

The experienced women also placed well: Sharon Woods taking 2^nd and Chepstow’s Vaness Lawson and Niki Morgan in 4^th and 5^th.

The category winners kindly donated their prize money to their chosen charities with the result that the Wyeside Arts Institute in Builth Wells and Greyhound Rescue West Of England will share the total entry fees of £171.

The race ‘organiser’ is very grateful to the magnificent support team – Louise & Carys Blackmore, Kay & Martin Lucas, Hanneke van der Werf, Ian Wade, Gareth Jones - who relieved him of all responsibilities and allowed him to run, in a feeble attempt to score some Chepstow Club points…

Thanks to all who came to run the Offa’s ‘Orror and helping to make it a great day.

Also big thanks to all of those who helped.

Results & links to photos can now be found on the Offa’s ‘Orror page of the website.
We look forward to seeing some of you again for the Tinter Trot (the short evening version - predecessor to the OO), or maybe at the exceeding fast Magor Marsh 10k, alternatively if you are looking for an evening series of short 4mile flat road races, then come along to our Rose Inn series
