Sat 18^th 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 2^nd lady home.
