PBs galore at the Belfast Half Marathon 2015
Bogusboy reports from the City
2865 athletes participated in the 3rd annual Belfast City Half Marathon. With a new course, taking in much of the scenic culture of the city, PBs were on offer for the eclectic band of Newcastle AC runners as they departed from the now mandatory meeting place – outside King’s Inn, Castlewellan. The 7:15am agreed leaving time proved unproblematic for the vast majority, but invariably there is always one that lets the side down.

Despite having raced in the Carlingford 5k the previous evening, recording an impressive sub 15:30 for the 3.1 course, the perennial race favourite was in imperious form as he controlled the race in the early stages before making a decisive move.
