Julie Balmer produced her second quickest half marathon time of the year, recording 1:23:56 to claim 2nd place in Suday’s inaugural belfst City Half Marathon, the womens’race being won by international triathlete Aileen Reid. The mens’race was won by Stephen Scullion from Eddie McGinley and Stephen Wylie was the first North Down man home in 8th overall in 1:16.22 hrs. There were several other good performances by runners from the club, notably Valerie McDonough in 1:35.40 hr and by David McMeechan in 1:30.53. Most performances unfortunately are buried deep in yet another set of poorly presnted results.
