THERE were home winners at Builth and District Running Club’s Resolution Run last weekend, with husband-and-wife team Phil and Donna Morris winning the male and female titles.

The 5K run is named because it takes place in January, with the event held over the Royal Welsh Showground, just outside Builth, on Sunday, January 28.

Phil Morris won the men’s race in a speedy time of 17 minutes 28 seconds, beating Hereford Couriers’ Ryan Lawrence by just four seconds. Zak Mountford, another Builth runner, was third.
