Tuesday 20th July 2010, saw 10 members of County Antrim Harriers take part in the Portaferry 10 Mile Road Race.
Eight members including Irene Downey, Gillian Hanna, Debbie Hill, Greg Hopkins, Ross McCowan, Ricky Mason, Michael Matthews & Claire Olliphant all took part in the 10 mile race, while Russell Hughes and Christine Murray ran the relay. The conditions were excellent on a lovely July evening, as the race set off at 7.45pm and followed a very scenic but challanging route around the coast.
Christine Murray got off to a flying start on the first 5 miles of the relay race, before handing over to the equally speedy Russell for the remaining 5 miles. The sprinting duo raced around the course to earn themselves 1st Place in the Mixed Team event. Congratulations to Christine and Russell on a well deserved win.
The remaining nine members successfully completed the 10 mile course and enjoyed the hospitality of tea and sandwiches provided at the end of the evening.
Well done to all who took part!
