More than 2,400 runners ran through the streets of Caerphilly on Sunday May 15 as the Bryn Meadows Caerphilly 10k and 2k races returned for 2023.

In total, around 1,600 runners competed in the 10k, with around 800 in the 2k race, which was held earlier in the morning.

The 10k race was won by Swansea’s Dewi Griffiths for the second year running, with a time of 30 minutes and 23 seconds.

Jonathan Butler finished second in the race with a time of 30 minutes and 40 seconds, while Caerphilly’s own Alex Jackson, 21, finished third with a time of 31 minutes exactly.

The women’s race was won by Blackwood’s Lauren Cooper, with a time of 35 minutes and 40 seconds.
