7 young people from Wrexham will be trained by rugby legend Gareth “Alfie” Thomas and international running coach James Thie to compete in the Cardiff Half Marathon on October 1st organised by Run4Wales.

They’ll all be filmed as part of Alfie’s Army 2017, the BBC 1 Wales TV series.

The 7 brave runners Yasmin Sides, 18, Sam Sides, 20, Jordan Jackson, 17, Jade Griffith, 17, Chloe Roberts, 17, Mia Jeffs, 17 and Tricia Jones, 22, are going through a step by step 16 week training programme and have a weekly training plan.

In September they will take part in a 10 K training run and met with Alfie before joining him for the big race itself on the 1st.
