There was success again this weekend for Seapark AC’s Gillian Barnhill (centre) at the 26Extreme Mourne Way Marathon on Saturday. Gillian was the first lady over the line in a time of 4:17.

Ian Cleland and Jonathan Beattie ran the half marathon distance in times of 1:40 and 1:50 respectively.

Richard Hethrington competed in his first ever sprint triathlon in Camlough in an impressive time of 1:26.

Tony is registered blind and completed this, his first marathon, ably assisted by fellow Seaparker and Guide runner Vivien Davidson.
