This was the 12th time Tim has run this event. He said: “Too hot for a fast time but you don’t often get to see the views from the top of a Welsh mountain. It’s great to have the support of my family watching the race, so the weather was a bonus for them too.”

Tim finished in 143rd place (out of 281) in a time of 2 hours 10 mins 43 seconds.
