Club Races 2012

Due to a clash with other races, namely the Llanelli 10 who have opted to use our slot for their ten miler, we will probably move our ten miler to a later date, as soon as we have decided a date I will post it on here.

Our Llanwonno 5 Forestry races will be held on the last Wednesday in June each year, it will be on the 27th June this year. This was agreed with our fellow clubs and will allow us all to take part in the Scenic 7 and the Cosmeston Relays which should now fall on the two Wednesdays after us.
