The return of the Antrim Coast Half Marathon on Sunday (29th) will be a day to be remembered for six distance debuts, 12 well deserved PBs; a new Club record; and the long awaited enjoyment of a mass participation live event.

Many congratulations to Chris Hopkins on his fantastic run finishing in a superb 1:11:31, to reset the previous record set in 2009 (also at Larne Half) by 5 minutes!

On Saturday(28/8) Sarah Kinnear, Lyn Hardie, Patricia Hamill and David Hamill myself headed to Fermanagh to take part in Atlas Runnings Florence Court event. Lyn and Trish were event debutants, while Sarah and David didn’t learn from their previous experience and went back for more punishment!

The runners were fortunate with the weather, even if it was a little on the warm side for running!  As usual Atlas put on a great well organised event and everyone got stuck in, producing fantastic performances on what is a fairly demanding course.  Special mention to Sarah, who ran 24 loops (24 hours) to join the events exclusive 100 Mile Club.
