Club Report – Sunday 1st September 2019

September. Autumn, “The year’s last, loveliest smile” as William Cullen Bryant described it. The time of falling leaves, falling temperatures and pictures of uniformed kids in front of doors. The time when the hopes of Utd fans have already turned to next season…

One late result on the vidiprinter from last week as Jonathan Carter came 6th in the Armagh Half Marathon last Sunday in 1:41:44.

Taking on the parkruns this week were:
Valley parkrun:
Sean Doherty 23:28PB, Ciaran Hawkins 24:01, Damian Cole 25:28, Laura Rose 26:51 (and 3rd female finisher), Paul “Ironman” Skillen 26:52, Owen Fulton 27:40, Maeve Kennedy 27:57, David Esler 28:09, Sharon Dunn 29:03, Anita Piatek 29:43, Laura Campbell 30:21, Yasmin Lynn 30:50, Frances Kane 31:34, Marie McFarlane 33:32, Joanne Milne 33:45, Fidelma McCoppin 33:59

Waterworks parkrun:
Jim Hewitt 26:21, Neil McCready 29:14, Hollie Brennan 45:23, Suzanne Brennan 46:58

Queens parkrun:
Stephen Smyth 28:27

Wallace parkrun:
Elaine Kennedy 29:07

Sixmilewater parkrun:
Tom Fleming 20:56, Peter Fleming 22:56, Tina Steele 30:09, Angela Stevens 44:00

Tourists this week include Stephen Weir back at Newcastle Upon Tyne, finishing in 30:15, Team Donaldson at Newark parkrun in Nottinghamshire, Danny 21:15 and Tiffany 38:58.. But the winner is Sarah Ross again who completed the Dunedin parkrun in New Zealand in 29:09.
Sarah also completed the Dunedin Half Marathon this week. Time unknown.

Waterworks junior parkrun:
Joseph Eager 9:54, Hollie “doing the double” Brennan 16:06

Portrush junior parkrun:
Tom Fleming 8:50 and first place overall

And ADav was at the Valley, 27:07

The running began on Tuesday night with the Larne Interclub Race:
Male Race 5 miles:
Lee O‘Boyle 29:19, Alan Ladd 30:48, Neil Campbell 30:54, Joe Mathers 31:55, Stephen Gallagher 34:09, Jonathan Carter 34:12, Alan Erwin 35:02, Patrick Brooks 38:28, Brendan McElroy 39:04, Sean McQuade 39:47, Jonny Smith 39:55, Owen Fulton 42:50, Bernard McKeaveney 44:14, Neill McGlinchey 44:53
Female Race 4 miles:
Laura Rose 29:37, Karen McKee 32:10, Pamela McCafferty 32:58, Suzanne Brennan 33:57, Bernie McAllister 34:24, Anita Piatek 34:29 Leeanne Skillen 36:35, Angela Stevens 36:58, Roisin Brooks 37:32
I probably need Prof Ladd to confirm this but we believe the men’s team came 4th and the ladies team came 6th.

Friday night was the Ards 5-mile race. Bernard McKeaveney doubled for the week, finishing in 43:16. Victoria McCready finished in 56:34.

This morning David Esler took on the Waterside Half marathon, finishing in 2:08:30.

But the big event of the weekend was the North Belfast Harriers Laganside 10k:
Ramunas Stanevicius 38:39PB, Neil McCready 40:40, Paddy Brooks 46:03, Frances Murray 47:45, Suzanne Brennan 51:58, Galina Stanevicius 58:42, Dermot ROTM Boyd 1:01:41PB, Marga Regan 1:02:22, Angela Stevens 1:06:22

We were also more than ably represented by the juniors in the Laganside 1 mile race but results are not yet available. Probably too fast for the timers!

So, here’s one for the parents who have to get their kids out of bed tomorrow. Could be worse. You could be a teacher. Or a Utd fan.

Club Report – Sunday 25th August 2019

So enjoy what’s left of your Bank Holiday weekend folks. And get another run in.

Club Report – Sunday 18th August 2019

Yes, it’s freezing, windy and the nights are getting darker. It must be August in Mallusk. And as thoughts turn to Christmas, you’ve all been getting in some racing before the first snow hits.

Stranmillis parkrun:
Elaine Kennedy 29:47

As for the tourists, Big O headed to the home of music and footy, completing the Stretford parkrun in Manchester in 26:30. But this week’s winners are our King & Queen of Different. Danny and Tiffany Donaldson headed to Shepherd’s Bush, West London to take on the Wormwood Scrubs parkrun, finishing in 37:45 and 37:46 respectively. I first thought the parkrun was actually in the prison but, sadly, it isn’t, it’s just nearby. Previous inmates of Wormwood Scrubs have included Pete Doherty, Keith Richards, Leslie Grantham and Charles Bronson. #freethemallusktwo

Waterworks junior parkrun:
Leo McAuley 9:42, Eloise McAuley 10:27

Jordanstown junior parkrun:
Matthew Hawkins 11:24

And ADav was at the Valley, finishing in 21:55.

The running started on Wednesday night with Anita Piatek running a PB time of 42:16 at the Coleraine 5 mile race.
Friday night saw the latest Connswater 5 mile event:
Ramunas Stanevicius 30:27, Stephen Smyth 34:36, Aidy Hughes 40:35, Galina Stanevicius 47:34

But the big event on Friday was the Atlas Running 5k Prosecco Run, an event that combines two favourite things for quite a few Harriers:
Alastair Houldsworth 20:14 (and first place), Laura Rose 22:06, Karen McKee 23:26 (a female one two finish), Pamela McCafferty 25:35, Maeve Dunseath 25:59, Yasmin Lynn 26:38, Hannah Hope 29:42, Joanne Milne 30:24, Suzanne Brennan 30:25, Sharon Dunn 30:25, Anita Piatek 31:41, Roisin Brooks 32:05, Claire McCann 32:07, Laura HOTM Campbell 32:48, Janine Nevison 32:48, Leeanne HOTM Skillen 32:51, Natasha McGarry 33:04, Lisa Kerr 33:07, Karen O’Boyle 34:08, Leah Burns 34:09, Fidelma McCoppin 43:38, Lorraine Forsythe 50:29, Sarah McCafferty 51:08, Victoria Thompson 51:09, Louise Ladd 51:09

Prof Alan Ladd 1:30:34, Jonny Smith 1:58:51, Suzanne Brennan 2:06:50, Angela Stevens 2:17:12

Then this morning saw the new Hillsborough Castle Running Festival with races over various distances:

Half Marathon:

Also today, the EAMS Knockathon took pace, with Mairead O’Hare completing 21 miles in total on a very tough course.

Couldn’t get any decent tunes about Prosecco specifically, but this classic is close enough. So let’s raise a glass (or two) to Alastair and the ladies. And remember, it’s not a hangover; it’s wine flu.

Club Report – Sunday 11th August 2019

The obvious highlight of the week (or any week) was a certain race over a PB course somewhere in darkest Mallusk. But more of that later.

Taking on the parkruns this week were:
Valley “Blues Brothers” parkrun:
Alastair “Elwood” Houldsworth 22:35 (and 2nd place overall), Ken “orange whip” McAuley 20:46, Paddy “Jake” Brooks 23:53, Noel “Duck” Bloomfield 25:11, Susan “Sister Mary Stigmata” Thompson 25:43, Bernie “Bones” McAllister 26:06PB, Maeve “Guitar” Dunseath 26:27, Owen “country AND western” Fulton 27:11, Neill “I’ve seen the light” McGlinchey 29:02, Nikki “Curtis” Fleck 30:21, Jasper Brooks 30:54, Anita Piatek 31:29, Joanne Milne 31:33, Rory Brooks 32:19, Roisin Brooks 32:21, Karen O’Boyle 33:45, Yasmin Lynn 38:47, Terry McIvor 38:49, Eamonn Donaghy 39:03, Sophie Davidson 40:21, Lorraine Forsythe 55:49, Jennifer Maguire 58:21
And big congratulations to Valley parkrun on their 5th anniversary event.

Waterworks parkrun:
Danny Donaldson 20:28, Stephen Semple 23:17, Lord Ian Brennan 24:13, Maeve Kennedy 27:41, Claire McCann 30:02, Stephen Smyth 30:11, Tiffany Donaldson 34:25

Victoria parkrun:
Stephen Weir 28:13PB

Antrim parkrun:
David Esler 26:13PB, Gemma Fowler 27:02, Tina Steele 27:53, Clare Teer 29:07

Stranmillis parkrun:
Elaine Kennedy 45:11

As for the tourists, family McCready headed to Kilrush in County Clare for the poshly named Vandeleur parkrun. Neil came in second overall in 19:42 with Ryan finishing 28:10. The parkrun is actually named after a prominent land-owning family in the region and is Dutch in origin. Obviously.
But this week’s winner can only be Sarah Ross. She completed her first parkrun at Dunedin in 27:53. Dunedin is on the South Island of New Zealand and its name comes from Dun Eideann, the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh. Jim Robinson from Neighbours is from Dunedin. How good is that!

Waterworks junior parkrun:
Leo McAuley 11:03, Eloise McAuley 12:50

Jordanstown junior parkrun:
Matthew Hawkins 11:23

Portrush junior parkrun:
Ben Halliday 14:57

And ADav (The Reverend Cleophus James) was at the Valley, finishing in 23:50.

There was other racing happening this week. On Wednesday, Angela Stevens, Dermot Boyd and Zoe O’Prey represented the club in the Crawfordsburn 5k Trail Race, Angela finishing in 31:34, Dermot in 33:26 and Zoe in 46:55.

But the main event was Friday night with the latest instalment of our own club race. Almost 350 hardy souls braved the wet and the elevation to qualify for the amazing post-race hospitality.
Mark McKinstry won the men’s race and Shalene McMurray won the ladies race. Wearing the blue and yellow on the night were Peter McGarry 28:23 (and 5th place), Ramunas Stanevicius 32:32, Alastair Houldsworth 34:42, Aidan Hamill 39:18, Galina Stanevicius 50:15, Marie McFarlane 52:39, Marga Regan 52:57.

Its been said before but is still worth repeating. A big thank you to all those volunteers who helped, both on the night and in the run up. The reputation and popularity of the race is all down to your efforts. Put those drinks down for once and pat yourselves on the back. Then carry on.

I’m having to ration decent songs about hills and there are none about pizza. I’ve looked.
So, this week’s tune is for the Valley parkrun team, our hill loving (blues) brothers from another mother.

Club Report – Sunday 4th August 2019

Well, the annual two weeks of overindulging, a diet consisting mainly of beer, pizza, wine, ice cream and beer again, has not really helped my elite training regime. Then again, I did do a couple of short slow runs when I was away. (Well, obviously just for the first week). I think that more than balances out any additional calorie intake. (Possibly not the official view of the club coaches).
My thanks to work experience boy and the lovely Debbie Magee for their adequate work in my absence.

Taking on the parkruns this week were:
Valley parkrun:
Alastair Houldsworth 20:40, Neil Campbell 21:47, Stephen ROTM Gallagher 21:49PB, Paul Skillen 24:38, Noel Bloomfield 24:58, Laura Rose 26:26, Aidy Hughes 26:29, Owen Fulton 26:31, Joe Mathers 26:33, Neill McGlinchey 28:24, Ciaran Hawkins 29:53, Laura HOTM Campbell 30:41, Karen O’Boyle 31:18, Galina Stanevicius 31:19, Joanne Milne 32:01, Oran McKee 33:02, Karen McKee 33:03, Leanne HOTM Skillen 36:47, Fidelma McCoppin 38:42, Jennifer Maguire 57:47

Waterworks parkrun:
Ken McAuley 20:53, Nikki Fleck 30:07, Marie McFarlane 32:30, Tiffany Donaldson 34:00, Danny Donaldson 34:00

Stranmillis parkrun:
Elaine Kennedy 30:16

Sixmilewater parkrun:
Tom Fleming 20:22, Peter Fleming 22:37PB, Tina Steele 29:08PB

Still some parkrun tourism going on. Stephen Weir was back at Newcastle Upon Tyne again, finishing in 29:40. I have run out of Newcastle jokes so Stephen will never win the tourism award. Sorry Stephen. This week’s joint winners are Stephen Semple and Maeve Kennedy who headed to the home of parkrun, Bushy Park, for it’s 800th event. Both finished in 27:08 (awwhhh!). Just the 1,459 runners in this one. Wonder how many barcodes they got back!!

Waterworks junior parkrun:
Eloise McAuley 10:30, Leo McAuley 15:40

Jordanstown junior parkrun:
Matthew Hawkins 11:23

Portrush junior parkrun:
Ben Halliday 14:57

And ADav was at the Valley, finishing in 23:23.

In other racing, several Harriers were at Dervock for the Kennedy Kane McArthur Dark Hedges Half Marathon:
Prof Alan Ladd 1:32:00, Alan Erwin 1:46:55, Stephen Smyth 1:49:29, Roisin Brooks 2:10:12, David Esler 2:11:30, Angela Stevens 2:22:49

Jonathan Carter was at the Mount Stewart Trail Half Marathon, finishing in 1:46:56.
Dermot Boyd managed a 5k PB at Carlingford, finishing in 29:27.
Kevin Donnelly completed the Sperrin Harriers Stanley Reid Memorial 5 miles in 32:07.

So, this week’s tune is for ADav who this week posted one of the greatest Facebook posts of all time. A classic from Pearl Jam and, yes, they do sing that song from Frozen in the middle of it. What more could you ask for or deserve…..

Until next week, behave.

They say the best things in life are worth waiting for. This report is the exception.

Taking on the parkruns without being headers this week were:
Valley parkrun:
Neil McCready 20:54, Alan Erwin 24:38, Ken McAuley 24:38, Paul Skillen 25:59, Pamela McCafferty 26:47, Leo McAuley 29:40, Lord Ian Brennan 29:52, Danny Donaldson 29:53, Joe Mathers 29:54, Frances Kane 30:20, Neil Campbell 30:38, Philip Fleck 30:57, Rory Brooks 31:44, Paddy Brooks 31:45, Laura HOTM Campbell 32:24, Matthew Hawkins 33:36, Ciaran Hawkins 33:36, Suzanne Brennan 33:44, Jim Hewitt 34:20, Sharon Dunn 34:44, Joanne Milne 34:45, Laura Rose 34:53, David Esler 34:59, Kerry McDowell 35:18, Owen Fulton 35:18, Brenna McGeown 35:49, Roseann McGeown 35:51, Susan Thompson 38:12, Noel Bloomfield 39:11, Tiffany Donaldson 39:14, Anita Piatek 39:16, Niamh McGeown 41:24, Angela Stevens 42:11, Lucy Fleck 55:22, Eloise McAuley 57:41, Jennifer Maguire 57:44, Sarah McCafferty 57:51
And a huge congratulations to all the Run Newtownabbey graduates. Here’s hoping it’s the first of many.

Waterworks parkrun:
Stephen Smyth 20:40PB

Victoria parkrun:
Mark Smith 17:40, Nina Baird 30:28

Antrim parkrun:
Tom Fleming 19:37PB, Stephen Semple 24:38, Alan Kerr 25:10, Maeve Kennedy 26:18, Tina Steele 29:40, Elaine Kennedy 50:57

A few of you went for the tourist of the week title this week. Stephen Weir tried at Newcastle upon Tyne finishing in 29:18, Rafa’s new wage per minute. Fidelma McCoppin was at it again, this time at Avondale Forest. Fidelma finished the trail course in County Wicklow in 35:14. But this week’s winners are Ramunas and Galina Stanevicius. They finished Tralee parkrun in Kerry in 19:27 and 29:19 respectively, Ramunas finishing third in the process. Saint Brendan the navigator is from Tralee. On one of his journeys he found the island of the monks of Ailbe, who have magic loaves, do not age, and maintain complete silence. If only we had a few of them in the club…..

Waterworks junior parkrun:
Joseph Eager 9:27, Eloise McAuley 10:43, Leo “ice cream with a flake” McAuley 10:44

Jordanstown junior parkrun:
Matthew Hawkins 11:48, Ben Halliday 12:03

Well done to all the juniors who managed a parkrun double this weekend.

And ADav was at the Valley, finishing in 35:05.

On Friday night, Elaine Kennedy represented the club at the Glenarm Glen 5 mile road race, finishing in 47:47.

On Saturday, Dermot Boyd came out from behind the lens to complete the Clontarf 5 mile in 48:10, a PB.
Yesterday was the Great Rossa Run with Harriers taking on various distances. Aidy Hughes thankfully was there to run the 5k and to translate for the Harriers with the Ardboe locals. Aidy finished in 26:00. Angela Stevens completed the 10k in 58:58 and Kevin Donnelly recovered from the disappointment of not winning parkrun tourist of the week recently to complete the half in an impressive 1:27:13.

So, this week’s tune is to mark the big news in our house recently and I’m sure in others too.
Two words that strike fear into the hearts of parents across the club (except the teachers).
Roll on September…..

Club Report – Sunday 30th June 2019

Only really one story in town this week but let’s get back to that.

To catch up from last week, we now have the full Energia 24 results.
Running as an individual, Craig Mills completed 101.65 miles. Amazing.
We also had 2 relay teams competing. The Marathon Queens (Joanne Milne, Sharon Dunn, Leeanne Skillen & Laura Campbell) completed 135.6 miles. Three Ladies & Neill (Suzanne Brennan, Pamela McCafferty, Gillian Bainbridge and, yes, Neill McGlinchey) completed 123.3 miles over the 24 hour period. Big respects to all involved.

Taking on just the one parkrun each this week were:
Valley parkrun:
Ramunas Stanevicius 21:19 (and 3rd place overall), Noel Bloomfield 25:48, Lee-Anne Hutchinson 30:02, David Esler 30:31, Matthew Hawkins 30:34PB, Ciaran Hawkins 30:36, Jennifer Maguire 55:34

Waterworks parkrun:
Jim Hewitt 25:53

Victoria parkrun:
Anton Piatek 27:42, Sophie Davidson 29:50PB

Queens parkrun:
Stephen Smyth 33:18

Larne parkrun:
Tom Fleming 21:11, Elaine Kennedy 32:42

Orangefield parkrun:
Stephen Weir 31:28

Portrush parkrun:
Odhran Skillen 26:09, Suzanne Brennan 26:11, Paul Skillen 27:59, Stephen Semple 28:27, Maeve Kennedy 28:28, Philip Fleck 30:44PB

Waterworks junior parkrun:
Joseph Eager 10:30, Eloise McAuley 11:34 (fair play after all her parkrun running yesterday)

And ADav was at Victoria, finishing in 29:52.

On Thursday night, Janine Nevison and Leah Burns represented the club at the Bob & Bert’s North Coast 10k. Janine finished in 58:21 and Leah finished in 1:06:25.

In the heat of Friday night, it was the Scrabo Striders N’Ards Half Marathon. Taking on the hills were:
Kevin Donnelly 1:28:30 (and a Top 10 finish), Elaine Kennedy 2:16:47, Anita Piatek 2:19:56, Angela “I love heat and hills” Stevens 2:23:59

On Saturday morning, amidst the thunder and lightning, it was the Antrim Cost Road Marathon, promoted by Larne AC. 
It saw another amazing run from Peter McGarry. Peter once again broke the club marathon record, finishing in 2:39:20. This was a result good enough for second place overall, bettered only by the legendary Tommy Hughes.
Also representing the club were Ken McAuley 3:47:20 and Alan Kerr 4:20:19

But obviously, the big event of the week was the latest 24in24 adventure. This time 15 Harriers took on the challenge with a Kardashian-sized support team in attendance.
There’s no results to post and it’s been tracked in detail on this site and others but I just want to add to the congratulations, a huge achievement by both the runners and the organisers.
And, in the immortal words of Bob Geldolf, just give us your ******’ money. Please.

So, this week’s tune is for the newly crowned club headers. For them, for the organisers, the supporters, the parkrunners from every location who came out to meet them, their clubmates who ran with them or watched in their jeans, those businesses who donated food and drink and those who made donations. This is also for whoever has to fumigate and clean that bus. We salute you all.

Until next week, behave.
