[Not a valid template]In breezy conditions, amplified on a coastal route, there were more than 1400 finishers at the AES Larne Half Marathon on Saturday. Joe McAlister (St Malachy’s AC) had his 4th win at the event in 69:44 min and Andrew Annett (NBH) was 2nd in 71:30, both escaping the pack early. After that it was North Down all the way with Stephen Wylie (3rd – 74:20), Dennis Scott (4th – 1:74:22) and Francis Marsh (5th –74:24), all sub 75, and on the prize list, Francis being 1st Master. In form girl Catherine Roberts was the 1st club lady home in an impressive 92:46 min, 3rd F40 and close to her 92:11 in Barcelona this year. There were 14 North Down runners, many with pbs and there were lots of good performances, summarised below.
