Only two races this week, but that didn’t stop a Harrier taking a podium position!

Sat 18th Jan Bangor Cross Country relays
Neil Carty and Greg McClure took part in the open race at the North Down AC promoted Bangor Cross Country relays on Saturday in Castle Park, Bangor. The race was over 5 slightly undulating laps with a bit of mud thrown in, a total distance of 7.75km in cold bright conditions. Neil took 15th place in 25:54 and Greg finished 42nd in 33:56.
Well done to both.

Sat 18th Jan Run Forest Run Gosford 10k
Gosford is the 6th event in the Belfast Telegraph Run Forest Run series. Hundreds of runners took part in the 5K and 10K races, which covered a mixture of road and forest track. Travelling through the dense woodland, runners passed the picturesque Gosford Castle, which featured in the hit HBO show Game of Thrones.
Our own Louise Smith represented the Harriers in the 10k race and achieved a podium position as 2nd lady home.
