Oswestry's Collins breaks half marathon record
Oswestry Olympians sent 17 athletes to Wrexham to take part in the Village Bakery Half Marathon.
With the atmosphere and running conditions excellent, 11 runners from Oswestry achieved a personal best half marathon time.
They were: Matthew Collins; Florence Roberts; Simon Lewis; Sean Jones; Richard Collins; Charlotte Hunter; Mike Kirk; Richard Manford; Dale Walton; Mark Jones and Shaun Harrison.
Collins also broke the club's senior men's half marathon record in a time of 1:08:02 by almost a minute, the previous best being by Kevin Smith back in 1988.
Many of the team are in training for marathons taking place this year and the Wrexham race proved a good warm up event.
