Chris Hopkins had a well deserved podium finish (3rd) at today’s Born 2 Run Castlewellan 10k – completing the testing course in a superb 35:11!
Congratulations to Sarah Kinnear, on her superb performance at unique Last One Standing event at Castleward; toeing the line of the tough 4.2 mile trail loop every hour for 26 hours! – running by daylight and torchlight; through various levels of precipitation; and on progressively tired legs!
Sarah’s preparation and determination allowed her to cover 109.6 miles PB (one of only 12 men and 2 ladies to do so), and help Team Ireland win the inter-home nation event.

Keep an eye on our FaceBook race page!
In reaction to the tragic murder of Ashling Murphy, a fellow runner, we would like to remind our members to use our Club FaceBook page to organise group runs. There may be runners in the club who usually run alone that would love to meet up with others. You could be making an isolated club member feel safe and included by posting an open invite there. Please don’t stop doing the hobby we all love through fear.
