County Antrim Harriers had a very successful evening at the Broughshane 10k – with Chris Hopkins, in fantastic form, win the men’s race in a PB time of 34:40. While, new member Kerry Knipe, claimed a well deserved second in the ladies race in 43:27.

While out a recce run on Slieve Donard, for an upcoming hill race, three County Antrim Harriers, Sean Pagel, Claire Oliphant and Louise Smart, witnessed a walker take a bad fall.  On determining that the seriousness of the walkers injuries necessitated assistance from Mountain Rescue, the trio stayed with the walker, and their partner, until the Rescue Team arrived.

The Mourne Mountain Rescue Team social media post concerning the call-out stated “A note of thanks to the group of runners that stopped to assist the first casualty and provided initial help.”

Huge respect to County Antrim Harrier, Kris Kelly, who swapped trainers for a wetsuit to swim across Belfast Lough (approx 5k!), as part of a Charity event organised by Carrickfergus Castle Triathlon.

County Antrim Harriers were delighted to be able to assist Belfast Homeless Services, in some small way, in the great work they do – thanks to all members who donated trainers.
