Tower of the Lakes 10k

 

The first official 10k race around Clandeboye estate took place on Sunday afternoon with over 170 runners making their way from the courtyard up to Helen’s Tower and back.  On a similar course to our own handicap race recently with the addition of a loop around the lake, a six mile round trip of off road trails welcomed the athletes.
