27/5/17 May Fair Races 2017

Saturday 27th May, saw over 420 athletes taking part in County Antrim Harriers, third annual May Fair 10k road race and 5k fun run.  Both races attracted a good mix of experienced and novice runners representing many running clubs across the Province; and the 5k was also the graduation run for the Clubs Couch to 5kers, all of whom gave of their best and enjoyed their first race.  The races lived up expectations, with many PBs, exciting in-race races, and in the 5k both the male and female course records were broken by up-and-coming athletes Ethan Dunn (Ballydrain Harriers) in 17:29, and Laura Maxine (East Down AC) in 19:29.  In the 10k, last years winner and course record holder Dan Tanui (Project Africa) was again first across the line in 30:33, while in the ladies race Commonwealth marathoner, Gladys Ganiel (North Belfast Harrier) won in 37:14.  The Club is extremely grateful to all the local businesses for their generous support of the event in providing race and spot prizes.
