Ballynahinch Run to Remember 5k

Early Sunday morning saw the 7th running of the Ballynahinch run to Remember 5k organized by Ballynahinch Wmrc and Atlas running. This event always attracts many local runners and fun runners. This year Atlas running had put in a new route starting at Morrisons garage and finishing outside Ballynahinch high school, the main part of the course still covered the back lanes of the local area with a number of steep inclines to add to the mix. EDAC had one lone runner on the start line and from the gun Martin Willlcox stuck to the back of the front pack. After all the weeks rain the conditions were dry, cool and sunny which made for a fast race. Martin stuck to the task and after a battle with David Smyth from Newcastle AC came across the line in 4th position in a time of 18 min 28 sec. The race was won second year in a row by Tom Crudgington Newcastle AC in 17 min 23 sec.
