Breaking news: GB selection for North Wales runner

Big news for Llyr ApGeraint Roberts

North Wales Road Runner Llyr ApGeraint-Roberts has gained qualification to the GB Team.

He achieved this after finishing third in his respective age category during a 2025 Duathlon Championships qualifying event held last Sunday on the East Fortune Race Circuit, near Edinburgh.

Llyr competed in a 5k run, followed by a 21k bike ride, and a final 2.5k run, with his excellent times, and age cat position ensuring him an automatic qualification.

His very fast times for each event included his first run of 5k in just 18 minutes, the 21k cycle race in 36 minutes, and the final 2.5k run in 9 minutes.

After the event, he confirmed: “I secured my qualification for the 2025 championships by finishing in the top-four of my age group at this event (I missed out at Castle Combe at the beginning of March).

“Overall, I came 24th out of 110 entrants, and I was 3rd in my age group, which ensured automatic qualification, however, I don’t yet know, where, or when, in 2025 the Euro Champs will be held.”
