Larne AC Interclub Race – 16th May 2023

The infamous Interclub race was back tonight for the first time since 2019. This year for the first time the route changed from a down and up course to an up and down course with women running 4 miles and men running 5 miles Twenty one harriers made their way to the start at the Feystown GA club with the majority boarding the Vengabus. The tunes were pumping and the craic was mighty on the bus.

Thanks to Leslie-Ann, South Antrim Community Transport and Karen Wilson for organising the bus and to Robert, our driver, for patiently waiting.

We also had a superb support crew with Rachel, Margaret, Irene, Ruth, John, David and Patricia. Thank you all for your encouragement and photos.

The course could be described as undulating with the majority of runners preferring the new route.After the race a wee mug of soup was had at the Ballygalley Community Centre but we were all craving a wee bun!

It was a special night with our own Chris Hopkins coming 2nd male with a time of 26:52 for 5 miles and our ladies coming in 3rd place for the team event! Well done everyone who ran and our worthy winners!

Belfast Marathon & Marathon Relay – 30th April 2023

A good number of the CAH headed into the Big Smoke to take on the Belfast City Marathon either taking part in the relay or foolish enough to run the whole thing 🤣!! Mixed weather conditions throughout the day made it very interesting.

A special mention goes to our new member Nichola Green 👏🏻 who ran the full marathon.
