North Down had a very successful night of running at the Ards Half Marathon on Friday evening. The top 3 podium positions were filled with the blue and yellow as Jamie Budde won the race in 1:14:07, Dale Murray came 2nd in 1:14:22 and Gareth Watton claimed 3rd in 1:15:38. Evidence of the quality training that Jamie has orchestrated over the last few months around the Ward Park area.
Other notable successes were Sarah Benton winning the FO50 prize in 1:37:58, Glynis Boyle making 2nd place in the FO55 grade, 1:47:04, Clair Quigley 1st F40 – 1:33:30, Steve Wise 2nd M60 – 1:32:13 and Frankie Rea 1st M65 – 1:37:50.
Well done to all the ND athletes who ran the Ards half, there is no shirking that climb back up towards Scrabo after 10 miles.
