For the second Thursday in succession three of our committed lady athletes took on the trails of the mourne countryside. Clair Quigley, Julie Wilson and Cara Jeffrey were joined this time by Jamie Coulter – Smyth and John Adgey who certainly didn’t embarrass themselves.
Jamie came within a minute of winning the race as he claimed runner up spot over the 8K Tollymore route. Clair Quigley improved on her finish last week by 7 places as she finished in 82nd place overall and first age category. Julie Wilson made it home on 118th spot and Cara Jeffrey covered the ground with 400M elevation in 127th place. John Adgey provided the club with a second age category win as he was first O75 to finish.
Well done to all of our runners who compete over this tough terrain. As the interest in the club increases for this discipline, anyone who would like to attend next week’s event should attend Kilbroney Forest for the race around Slieve Martin.
