A particularly successful week for North Belfast Harriers in various races, with the pinnacle being the clinching of the three titles at the NI & Ulster Road Relay Championships in Victoria Park on Sunday afternoon.
Run-Anon Lough View Run 10K, 5K & Fun Run (Sunday 6 October)
The running club based in Crumlin hosted the multi-distance races on Sunday morning. Harriers took part in both the 5K walk and the 10K run. Well done!

Craigavon Lakes 3/4 Marathon (Sunday 6 October)
Kicking off at 8.30am on Sunday, the 3/4 marathon is organised bi-annually as a training run for those taking on Dublin and Belfast full distances 3 weeks before the “main race.” Conditions were good, albeit wet and hilly in parts, for the 6-loop course around the lakes. Paddy McAuley was the only harrier to take part and completed the 20-mile distance in 2.23:41. Congratulations.
NI & Ulster Road Relay Championship (Sunday 6 October)
Undoubtedly this was the main event of the week. NBH had representation from the Primary Schools race right through to the ladies and men’s seniors and masters. We are delighted to report that there were 3 first place finishes out of the 4 main races and two new course records set by North Belfast Harriers! It was a great day for the club, both in terms of success and camaraderie.
1st Place Ladies’ Masters – Roisin Hughes, Sarah Jane McFadden and Penny Lindsay
1st Place Men’s Masters and Course Record Breakers – Mark McKinstry, Gareth Lyons, Kent Swann and Conor Curran
1st Place Men’s Seniors and Course Record Breakers – Mark McKinstry, Andrew Milligan, Conán McCaughey and John Black
Well done to all club members who took part and supported throughout the day. (Photos credit NBH Facebook)

Galway Half Marathon (Sunday 6 October)
The Half Marathon is split into three laps, one short lap, followed by two full laps. It starts at the Claddagh in the city, takes in the promenade, goes through the heart of Salthill, turns down toward the sea before heading back into the county capital. Described as a “very flat and fast course” and perfect for PB attempts. One Harrier is known to have taken part, achieving the sub 2hour. Well done.
