East Down Athletics Club is organising a new Half Marathon on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Society (there are 20,000 people in Northern Ireland with Dementia) on Saturday 27 August 2016 in Killyleagh which also includes a 3 person relay event with runners completing approximately 4 mile, 6 mile and 3.1 mile legs. Bespoke event medals will be presented to all Half Marathon finishers. The race starts at 10:30 am and registration opens at 9:00 am. If you would like to take part on-line entry is open, though entries will also be taken on the morning of the race at Race HQ in the Bridge Centre, Killyleagh.
