Beaumaris Lifeboat crew members participate in the Anglesey Half Marathon.
The two crew members of the Beaumaris Lifeboat who had entered for the event namely Mrs Lucy Aspden Zalot and Mr Connor McCarron successfully completed the event today..
The R N L I at Beaumaris manned the refreshment station by the Lifeboat Station during the half marathon.
However we do have to admit some favouritism and both Lucy and Connor received an extra special cheer from the crew when they passed the nine mile drink station.
Lucy & Connor would particularly like to thank everyone for the sponsorship and also to everyone coming out on such a wet day and cheering it really does keep you going and makes a huge difference to all the runners.
