QUALITY ALL THE WAY AT PEMBREY
THE John H Collins Gwent Cross Country League, one of the most popular grassroots cross-country leagues in the UK, returned to West Wales for the fifth time.
More than 1,200 runners of all abilities descended on Pembrey Country Park near Burry Port.
There were races on offer for under-11 athletes up to seniors and masters categories.
Carmarthen Harriers hosted fixture three of the season before the league visits Bristol and Swansea in the new year.
Competitors, coaches, team managers, officials and spectators from more than 40 clubs travelled to the venue from across South Wales and the South West of England.
On a demanding course that showcased the park and the surrounding areas, the competitors aged nine to 80 tackled fast grass sections, hills, sand dunes, woods and paths.
