Jessica Craig has been a notable absentee from the racing scene this winter but she put that right with a vengeance when she won the ladies race on Sunday in the inaugural NiRunning 5 mile Trail Race in Ballyboley Forest, County Antrim. Due to extremely icy conditions, the course was revised, but still proved to be a tough, scenic challenge for competitors. Jessica looked to be in good form from the downhill start as she led the ladies into the heart of the snow covered forest, with East Coast AC trio Allyson O’Toole, Penny Lindsay and Janice Plumb in pursuit. As they approached the final section of the route Jessica gradually opened the distance between herself and the East Coast and cruised to victory in 32:09.
