The British Masters 10-mile championships was incorporated into the Rhyl 10 this year and attracted masters runners from all over the country to the Welsh seaside resort to test themselves against their age group peers. It was a brilliantly sunny day but bitterly cold, with a chilly breeze blowing against the runners as they made their way along the coastal path between Rhyl and Prestatyn. Two members of Preston Harriers made the journey to Wales for the race. Nursing a slight niggle in his Achilles tendon, Kevin Hesketh ran a cautious race to place 4th MV60 in a chip time of 68.06, only 11 seconds behind the bronze medallist. Marian Hesketh had an easier task in the FV60 category, which she won in 73.49, eight minutes ahead of the second placed runner.
