EAMS Halloween Frightener (31/10)
Congratulation to NBH’s Ryan Armstrong who won the most recent 6 hour challenge hosted by East Antrim Marathon Series. Ryan completed 8 laps in 5 hr 35 mins down at Loughshore to secure the win. After a very wet Saturday night and set-up that morning, the grey clouds parted just before the start and the sun stayed out for most of the very long day! Another top spot for NBH!

At Victoria, Conor O’Rawe celebrated the ‘double,’ first finisher and a PB, closely followed by fellow club mate, Piaras McShane with his second place finish and PB. John Murphy also finished first in Falcarragh with a PB, whilst Joe Gallagher achieved a PB at Waterworks. Excellent running everyone!
