North Down athletes to finish the 26 miles 385 yards and an unspecified bit were Ian Atkinson 83rd 3.16.34: James Agar 3.33: Simon Cummings 243rd 3.44.40: Pat O’Driscoll 852nd 04:35:47. 1418 runners completed the marathon. In the marathon relay Ken’s Krumblies, Ken Hawtin’s team of North Down runners all over 60, finished 22nd and were first in Category C. Jessica Craig was 2nd in the Fun Run.
The rumour that there were two Pat O’Driscolls in the race seems to have some substance and unfortunately the Chairman’s pb was vetoed by the Committee.
Having said that, the results may be official, but not necessarily accurate. James Agar ran 3.33 but is close to 3.41 according to the record.
