30/6/18 County Antrim Harriers Impress at Antrim Coast Road Marathon

Eleven Club members took part in the much anticipated 30 th anniversary running of the
Antrim Coast Road Marathon. The race, hosted by Larne AC, took the marathoners from
Cushendall, along the stunning Antrim coastline via Glenarm and Ballygally to Larne.
Running 26.2 miles is tough; and the event was made even tougher by the very warm and
sunny conditions, however, buoyed with support along the route from local running clubs,
all put in great performances. First home for the Club were a delighted Stuart Gowans
(3:56:48) and Patricia Hamill (3:56:49); quickly followed by Julie Young (4:13:54); Andrena
Berry (4:14:29); Jayne McKeever (4:14:29); and Rachel Lloyd (4:18:20). Also running
strongly were Andrew Wilson (4:34:22); Mandy Yau-Wilson (4:40:16); Ash Brown (4:51:05);
Gordy Brown (4:58:38); and Marion Morrow (5:48:24).

she, running a PB distance of 206.29km to be crowned the Athletics Association of Ireland
