Lake Vyrnwy Half Marathon (16 Sep 2001)
Five Serpies made it to Wales on Sunday 16 September for the Reebok DMX Lake Vyrnwy Half Marathon.

In the 3 to score team event, the 3 Serpie vet men were 30/40 in the \"Open\" and 18/26 in \"Vets\". PBs were set by Beate and myself (not sure if Moddy\'s time was or wasn\'t).
Larry Mathews, Thames Hare & Hounds, won the men\'s race in 1h05m08s. First male vet finished in 1h12m42s. Amanda Allen, Birchfield Harriers, won the womens race in 1h12m43s. First female vet in 1h26m50s.
