Tribute to a North Wales running legend

The late and much missed Peter Norman who passed away on July 15

Tribute by Bernie Jones (North Wales Cross Country League)

The North Wales Cross Country League is sad to announce the passing of Peter Norman.

Peter was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia on 20th June and was cared for at home by family and a truly wonderful team of doctors, district nurses ans carers.

He was a stalwart of Wrexham AC and organised many of their races for many years including the Village Bakery Half Marathon and Helena Tipping 10km, both of which are still running.

Peter was a multi-World Champion in triathlon and a Welsh international and many times North Wales and Welsh Champion at cross country in various age groups over the years.

Only last year he won the Welsh M80+ Welsh Cross Country Championship.

A true gentleman who had time for everyone he will be sadly missed. Our condolences to his family, friends and many club mates in the running and triathlon community.

RIP Peter Norman
