Gareth Jaggard

I've been into fell running for about 16 years and joined the Clwydian Range Runners 15 years ago. Most of my time is spent running around the Clwydian hills to keep fit and also for the social aspect.

I've been involved in organising races for a number of years now. The Druid Race in Llanferres, the Dash in the Dark series in Llandegla, and helping with the Beast race in Maeshafn are just some of the events I've been involved in.

Not one to shy away from work or responsibility, I decided to get involved in the committee work and wanted to be part of the hard working team who are vital to the continuation of our sport. I was the race safety and insurance officer between 2022-2025 and helped Race Organisers understand the importance of having a good risk assessment for their races, as well as promoting the rules that can be found in our Race Organisers handbook.

I'm not much of a racer and so do not enter many events, but prefer the longer challenges such as the Welsh 1000m Peaks, Longmynd Hike and mountain marathons around Eryri.

I am now one of the Trustees of the organisation and am please to remain involved in the future of the sport.
