Four County Antrim Harriers were among the 35,000 competitors in Sunday’s Great Manchester 10k. The quartet, all running strongly, despite the heat, felt like stars as they ran past Old Trafford and the Coronation Street set. Results: Marian Hayes (62:31); Rebecca Edmonson (67:56); Eileen Stewart (70:47); and Fran Wright (79:35).

This Saturday (May 28), the Harriers are looking forward to welcoming a record number of athletes to their second annual May Fair 10k and 5k Fun Run. The races start at 10am from Ballyclare RFC. Further information can be found on the club’s website www.countyantrimharriers.co.uk or the race Facebook page.

The Harriers would like to thank all their sponsors, without whose generosity and support, the event would not be possible.
