A very fast race, led by James Thie who finished by a big margin and narrowly missed out on beating his own course record. In the women's race Kristie O'Connell took the honours, ahead of last month's winner Rachel Morgan who looks odds on to win the series. This was the best turnout yet at one of our evening fixtures in Cardiff - thanks to all who made it possible!




SELF TRANSCENDENCE 4 MILE RACE, Pontcanna Fields, Cardiff - JULY 13th 2007

"Looking for favourable conditions is like looking for twenty-four hours of brilliant sunshine. Brave the stormy day, Brave the stormy night! Then you will not have to look for permanent sunshine. The permanent sunshine will itself come to you and befriend you."

Sri Chinmoy

Race photos will be online (a day or two after the race) in our GALLERY.

Torrential rain made it hard for both runners and recorders at the race, especially with the race numbers being inadequate for the conditions, so if any times/positions are inaccurate, or missing (!), please do contact us (cardiff@runandbecome.com) to let us know.
