Saturday morning saw the next race in the Born 2 Run series. Antrim Castle gardens was the venue for the popular Run Forest Run series of races. Runners will make their way around the 400 year old gardens, with both races starting in the grounds of the gardens, the 10k route takes in the ruins of Shanes Castle where runners will enjoy some fantastic views of Lough Neagh and then returning through the immaculately kept gardens and woods at Castle gardens. The 5k is mainly in the gardens with a small section on the main road, so with a flat fast course and fresh conditions some good times were in the offing.

Anna Gardiner was the only EDAC athlete to make the trip to Antrim, and was taking on the 5k. Anna has had an amazing season on the road, track and cross country trails so was in good form. With 169 runners toeing the start line, they were off and Anna headed to the front where she stayed, putting in another strong performance Anna came in third position in the race and first Lady over the line in a time of 18 min 20 sec, we all need to remember that Anna is still a junior and is mixing it with senior athletes, an amazing effort.
