Ballyclare May Fair Recap ⛰️

Massive congratulations to the entire Mallusk Harriers squad for a absolutely tremendous outing at the Mayfair 5k and 10k races on Saturday! From the sea of blue, green and gold driving the pace at the front to the relentless grit right through the mid-pack, the club pride and determination on the road was unmatched.

A special, massive shout-out to our front-runners who set the tarmac alight at the sharp end of the 5k field:

Matthew: Taking a phenomenal 1st Place victory! 🏆
Tom: Locking down a brilliant 3rd Place podium finish! 🥉
David: Coming through right behind in a fantastic 4th Place!

Sensational running from the trio to lock out three of the top four spots against a top-tier field.

A huge thank you as well to David Holmes, and our own Karen & Mairead for being out on the course with their cameras, freezing the action, and capturing the squad at their absolute best 📸

Whether you bagged a shiny new PB, conquered the Rashee Road ascent, or were out cheering on the squad, it was a stellar weekend for the Harriers. Rest up, recover well, and let’s carry this massive momentum into the next block of training!
