Rockies challenge

DENBIGH DUO HIT THE HILLS - BIG TIME!

Denbigh Harriers Ashley Gauton and Emma Collins, who have both been in good form over the past year, took on a mighty new challenge when they entered the Trans-Rockies event.

 The 120-mile event through the spectacular mountains involved 20,000 feet of climbs.

 Calling themselves The Ancient Britons, the pair entered the category for couples with a combined age of over 80, and out of over 80 teams they came a brilliant fourth with a time of 23 hours 4 minutes 44 seconds.

 ......AND WATHAN ALSO TAKES ON THE ROCKIES

Meanwhile Eryri Harrier Paul Wathan, now living in Canada, also competed in a very tough ultra- race in the Rockies, the TNF Canadian Death Race. The 125k race involved several severe ascents as well as river crossings, and Wathan finished a highly creditable 30th in 18h 34m 19s.
