Club Race Report – 4th September 2022

Lovely weather during the week, horrendous at the weekend. Uniformed small children standing awkwardly in front of white doors. Yup, its back to school week but the Harriers kept running and racing.

A lot of single runners there.

Do we not like each other or something?

Trying not to stink out your cars?

Who knows….

Then today the rain cleared up in time for the NBH Laganside 10k:

David Graham 37:12, Robbie Gould 41:23PB, Adam McCann 41:39, Rab Gould 44:47, Craig Goodall 47:43, Lord Ian Brennan 48:10PB, Lauren Penman 1:01:58 And Obviously Dermot Boyd 1:03:55

May be an image of 9 people, people standing and outdoors

May be an image of 5 people, people standing, people playing sport, outdoors and text that says "10k 322 THOMAS 646 KEEP ERLIT 147 CATHAL 178 ADAM"

May be an image of 2 people, child, people standing and outdoors

But let’s forget our elite athletes taking part in the Junior Mile(ish):

Emily Murphy 5:14 and 2nd female finisher, Peter McCann 5:24, Coach Sinead O’Hare 5:47, Calum Murphy 6:51, Hollie Brennan 8:51

May be an image of 4 people, people playing sport, people standing and outdoors

May be an image of 1 person, standing and text that says "MALLUSK HARRIRS 1879 一"

May be an image of 9 people, people standing and people playing sport

And finally, Bernard McKeaveney headed westward to the Waterside Half Marathon. Bernard completed his sunny half in 2:03:17.

It may not be obvious from the times above but the big news of the week is that the 10k crown in Brennan Towers has changed hands after that PB. So this week’s tune is for the Lord. Impressive Ian but probably not clever.

Until next week, behave.

May be an image of 10 people and people standing

And great to see our C25k graduates continuing their training and now out representing the club on the roads.
And Coach Sinead O’Hare was also in action at the Firmus Junior event. Sinead completed the 200m in 36:54PB and the mile in 6:53.
Earlier today, it was the turn of Carrickfergus to be swamped by Harriers as many in the club took on the popular Storming the Castle 10k:

So this week’s tune is for our media officer. Yes, our very own Bernard McKeaveney finally made it official and got himself all married on Wednesday. Still waiting for the Harrier reception though…..

Club Race Report – 14th August 2022

It seems that the heat brings out the vests as well as the suncream. Another hot but busy week for the Harriers.

And Elaine Kennedy completed the Buncrana parkrun in 31:23. But more of that header later.
A reminder to all our newbies to please make sure you update your parkrun profile to show Mallusk Harriers as your club so that we can pick you up in the results. Cheers.

Emily Murphy 8:14 and first finisher, Coach Sinead O’Hare 8:36PB and 2nd finisher, Matthew Hawkins 10:17, Joseph Eager 10:18
Waterworks junior parkrun:

Our busy week started on Monday with the Broughshane 5k.
It was another good night for our regular podium botherers, Tom and David.
Tom Fleming won the race in 17:14 with David Graham finishing second in 18:12.
Great to see the blue and green on yet another podium.
Obviously Dermot Boyd was also there. Dermot finished in 32:04.
Then on Friday, the vests were washed (hopefully) and back out for the Connswater 5 mile race:
Tom Fleming 27:47, David Graham 29:55, Sean Doherty 33:25, Aidy Hughes 42:43 and, obviously, Dermot Boyd 52:45. (I am now officially changing his full name to “And Obviously Dermot Boyd”).
2 events on Saturday, firstly the madness that is the Lurig run within the Heart of the Glens festival. It’s only 3.8 miles but a lot of that is straight up and down with over 1,000 ft of ascent (and descent) in quite a short space!
Anton Piatek 50:25, Karen McKee 53:20, Anita Piatek 1:01:26
Also on Saturday was the latest Born 2 Run event, the Dambuster series of races at Silent Valley.
5k
Emily Murphy 23:55 (2nd female finisher and 5th overall – superb running from our junior), Coach Sinead O’Hare 29:57,
10k:
Lauren Penman 1:09:14
10 miles:
Joe Mathers 1:26:56

May be an image of 6 people and people standing

Then this morning, 6 Harriers were lucky enough to be in the heavenly kingdom that is Craigavon, spiritual home of the roundabout. They were rocking the lakes and lough (more like sweating the flippin’ things) in both the 5k and half marathon:
5k
Aidy Hughes (as usual) 26:23
It is not known at this stage if Aidy has been able to sneak back over the border into Tyrone undetected. We will keep you updated.
Half marathon:
Kevin “The Cap” Donnelly 1:25:22, Alan “suncream” Erwin 1:28:49, Patricia Curistan 1:40:20 (and 5th female finisher), Brendan McGeown 1:45:29, Angela Stevens 2:35:15
Final result goes to Elaine Kennedy. Elaine was racing on Thursday. And Friday. And Saturday. And today. Elaine was taking part in the Quadrathon Quest, 4 half marathons in 4 days around various, and sometimes hilly, scenic routes of Donegal. Elaine had a total time of 10:30:35 and won herself a medal that would make Aidy blush.
So this week’s tune is for our new header, Elaine. Four halves in four days, in that heat. Much chocolate is both required and deserved. And a wee dance.

Club Race Report – 7th August 2022

It was a busy week again with many highlights but, as usual, none were better or tougher than our own club race. Great to see it fully back post Covid and still going from strength to strength. But more of that later.
Taking on the parkruns this week were:
Valley parkrun:
David Graham 19:45 and 2nd finisher, Ciaran Wright 22:24, Joe Mathers 23:28, ADav 23:53, Stephen Semple 24:30, Nuala Muldoon 25:01, Clare Teer 29:08, Joanne Milne 29:09, Marie McBrien 29:41, Neill McGlinchey 30:51, Dermot Boyd 31:44, Mairead O’Hare 38:48, John Teer 39:19, Clare Gallagher 42:41PB, Martin McCready 59:38
Waterworks parkrun:
Lord Ian Brennan 25:02, Cathy Ryan 27:57, Stephen Murphy 41:18
Derry City parkrun:
Johnny Carey 24:00PB
Victoria parkrun:
Rab Gould 21:17
Wallace parkrun:
Elaine Kennedy 27:49
Bangor parkrun:
Kelly Carlisle 39:44
Limavady parkrun:
Alan Kerr 26:24
Sixmilewater parkrun:
Tom Fleming 17:58 and first finisher, Craig Goodall 26:40
Obviously both well recovered from their Friday evening exertions. Fair play gents.
Limepark Playing Fields parkrun:
Elijah Cushley 21:35
And congrats to Limepark parkrun in Ballymoney on completing their first parkrun. Here’s to many more.
No tourists again this week. And due to previous legal restrictions, I can’t even make jokes about Ballymoney!
Jordanstown junior parkrun:
Coach Sinead O’Hare 8:49, Matthew Hawkins 12:05, Riley Kerr 12:18, Joseph Eager 12:19
Waterworks junior parkrun:
Leo McAuley 8:39, Hollie Brennan 17:23
Friday night was a busy night for local running. Full results for our own club race are posted elsewhere but we had some excellent results from the Harriers that took on the hill themselves:
Tom Fleming 28:31 (age category winner) and just missing out on a podium spot in 4th place, Mark Smith 29:49 (age category winner) , David Graham 30:14, Robbie Gould 33:58, Ben Davidson 35:03 (and age category winner), Craig Goodall 38:22, Lauren Penman 54:48
And, once again, a huge thank you to all the Harriers who volunteered in the build up and on the night or provided food and treats. And a special shout out to Ian and the team who gamely manned the BBQs for what must have felt like several days.
On the same night, some of our elite squad were in Downpatrick for the 5k:
Emily Murphy, 22:22, Coach Sinead O’Hare 23:02
Earlier today, we also had representation at the Feile 10k. David Graham finished in 37:20 and Brendan McElroy in 46:06
As we all know, Harriers love a wee hill, none more than Lee O’Boyle and Micky McAuley. On Saturday, Lee finished 9th in the BARFNI 77s in a time of 4:39:33. Micky finished 14th in 4:57:23. This is a 18ish mile race covering 7 peaks of the Mournes with 8,100ish ft of elevation
So this week’s tune is for everyone who made it up that hill on Friday, or across the Mournes on Saturday. Yes, we used this tune recently but it’s become a club anthem so we’re using it again.
Plus Vecna bears a strong resemblance to a certain Harrier on his long run this morning. Red wine, Indian meals and running don’t always mix, kids. Just say no.

Club Race Report – 31st July 2022

Another busy week for the Harriers. And great to see so many of our C25k graduates at training on Tuesday evening. ADav’s speeches mustn’t have put them off too much. High pain thresholds, these folks.
Taking on the parkruns this week were:
Valley parkrun:
David “Podium” Graham 18:52 and 2nd finisher, Robbie Gould 21:38, Stephen Armour 23:18, Nuala Muldoon 25:23, Coach Sinead O’Hare 25:48, ADav 26:15, Sharon Dunn 28:39, Marie McBrien 29:35, Joanne Milne 30:29, Clare Teer 30:55, Neill McGlinchey 34:52, Ian Simpson 37:52, Martin McCready 58:11
Waterworks parkrun:
Johnny Carey 22:44PB, Kevin Donnelly 24:12, Joe Mathers 24:17, Jim Hewitt 28:15
Queens’s parkrun:
Anton Piatek 24:25
Portrush parkrun:
Tom Fleming 20:02 and first finisher
Antrim parkrun:
Stephen Murphy 44:18
Sixmilewater parkrun:
Stephen Semple 24:15PB, Alan Kerr 26:14
Hillsborough Forest parkrun:
Elaine Kennedy 29:29PB
Hillsborough Forest parkrun:
Elijah Cushley 26:39
No tourists this week. Must be saving it all up for August?
Jordanstown junior parkrun:
Coach Sinead O’Hare 8:45 and a PB and first finisher (sure, why not?), Joseph Eager 10:38, Matthew Hawkins 11:50, Riley Kerr 11:52, Andrea Bradley 14:02, Rhys Kerr 15:56
On Thursday, a few Harriers were clocking up the Club Championship points as they took part in the Dub Runners Giants Trial Race:
Paddy Shields 47:123, David Butler 59:04, Cathy Ryan 1:02:15
Then on Friday night, our own Bob & Bert, Marty O’Neill and David Graham, headed east for the Bob n Bert’s Stormont 5k. Well worth the effort as they finished the very pleasant course in 2nd and 3rd place in times of 19:25 and 19:32 respectively.
But David wasn’t finished there, oh no. He’s now got a taste for podiums and this morning, he only went and won the Galbally 5k in a time of 18:25.
Perpetual racer Dermot Boyd was also at it again on Friday evening, this time at the Quarry 5k where he finished in 35:21.
Our final result comes from our international news desk as we can confirm that Prof Alan Ladd completed the Captain Bill Gallagher 10 mile race in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, in 1:08:17.
No, I have no idea who Captain Bill is either.
So this week’s tune is for David and his double podium week. Bit of a stretch this one but Crosby Stills and Nash includes David Crosby and Graham Nash (as well as Stephen Stills). You work it out.

Club Race Report – 24th July 2022

Plenty going on this week, mainly at the Valley parkrun where our Run Newtownabbey Couch to 5k squad were taking on their graduation run.
Taking on the parkruns this week were:
Valley parkrun:
Elijah Cushley 24:00, Eloise McAuley 24:41, Coach Sinead “sub 25” O’Hare 24:59PB, Leo McAuley 25:37, Craig Goodall 25:44, Alan Erwin 26:10, Rab Gould 28:43, Robbie Gould 29:04, David Esler 29:27, Bernard McKeaveney 29:47, Jasper Brooks 30:16, Bronagh Adjey 30:31PB, Sophie Davidson 31:22, Ben Davidson 31:23, Brendan McGeown 34:33, Oran McKee 34:37, Karen McKee 34:40, Joanne Milne 36:03, Jessie Smith 37:59, Clare Teer 38:01, Mairead O’Hare 38:44, John Teer 40:01, Kelly Carlisle 40:18, Roisin Brooks 40:19, Gemma Fowler 41:13, Anita Piatek 41:48, Stephen Gallagher 43:38, Nuala Muldoon 45:43, Suzanne Brennan 47:51, ADav 49:30, Janet Grew 49:43, Martin McCready 53:52
The times of the C25k graduates are not for this report and, to be honest, aren’t really important.
What is important is that they got off the couch, trained hard for 9 weeks and completed their 5ks.
Not only did they have to deal with that hill twice, they also had to listen to two (not one, two) speeches from ADav. Those poor people deserve medals, not certificates.
Portrush parkrun:
Nikki Fleck 32:06
Antrim parkrun:
Maeve Kennedy 24:34, Stephen Semple 25:18
Castlewellan parkrun:
Emily Murphy 24:17, Stephen Murphy 52:00
Limavady parkrun:
Johnny Carey 27:26
Sixmilewater parkrun:
Tom Fleming 17:15 and first finisher, Jonny Smith 23:45, Elaine Kennedy 34:06
More tourists again this week. The Skillens took the loveboat to the Northwest (it’s their anniversary and all) to take on the Derry City parkrun. Leanne finished in 32:45. Paul finished in 32:47. Well played, Sir. Bet that made the rest of the weekend go easier.
Kevin Donnelly finished the Perth parkrun in 19:03. This is the Scottish one, not the Australian one. The Ewan McGregor one, not the Heath Ledger one.
Finally, Gareth McLoughlin came 5th at the Breakwater parkrun in 24:00. This is the Kingston, Ontario, Canada one, not the Kingston, Jamaica one. The Bryan Adams one, not the Shelley-Ann Fraser one.
Jordanstown junior parkrun:
Sinead O’Hare 8:56 and third finisher, Matthew Hawkins 10:19, Joseph Eager 10:20
Waterworks junior parkrun:
Hollie Brennan 16:23
In other racing this week, 2 of our regular racers were out in Donaghadee for the EAMS 5k along with the PB chasing Hanna.
Aidy Hughes 25:56, Hannah Hope 27:29PB and Dermot Boyd 30:57.
David Graham was doing the double this week, getting 21:04 in the ECAC Sunrise 5k.
He then went on to join Ciaran Wright and the ever present Dermot Boyd in Hillsborough for the festival of running today.
10k:
David Graham 39:54 and 8th place overall, Dermot Boyd 1:04:35
Half Marathon:
Ciaran Wright 1:52:12
So this week’s tune is for our C25k graduates. Now you’ve started, don’t give up. You need to, ahem, keep on moving. (Yes, I can smell the cheese from here too).

Club Race Report – 17th July 2022

Wow, I’m really enjoying this really hot weather. Said no runner. Ever.
To be fair, I do usually meet new people when I go running in the heat. Usually paramedics.
Taking on the parkruns this week were:
Valley parkrun:
Nuala Muldoon 25:48, Cathy Ryan 29:09, Sinead O’Hare 30:30, Emily Murphy 30:31, Bronagh Adjey 33:10, Ian Simpson 38:43, John Teer 39:25, Martin McCready 53:10
Waterworks parkrun:
Dawn Blain 24:24, ADav 24:26, Robbie (the young one) Gould 24:37, Rab (slightly less young) Gould 24:40, Elijah Cushley 26:12PB, Anton Piatek 26:16, Roisin Brooks 32:30, Susan Thompson 32:31
Portrush parkrun:
Nikki Fleck 33:52
Antrim parkrun:
Maeve Kennedy 24:11
Carrickfergus parkrun:
Matthew Hawkins 28:45PB, Ciaran Hawkins 28:51PB
Sixmilewater parkrun:
Eloise McAuley 25:12 and first female finisher, Micky McAuley 25:25
Crawfordsburn parkrun:
Elaine Kennedy 30:05
As you can imagine, we have several tourists this week.
David Graham headed west to Sligo to finish 3rd at the impressively named Sligo parkrun in 18:56. Kelly Carlisle headed east to the Barclay parkrun and finished in 43:23.
Barclay parkrun is in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, somewhere sort of north of London. Lena Zavaroni and Gino D’Acampo both live (or lived) in Hoddesdon so that definitely makes it A list country for me.
But our winners this week are Jim and Janet Grew. They completed the Mura di Lucca parkrun in 25:32 and 29:55 respectively. Unsurprisingly, this parkrun is in northern Italy, just north of Pisa and west of Florence. Lucca is the birthplace of Giacomo Puccini. For the 99% of club members who have never heard of him (philistines), he wrote operas including La Boheme and Madam Butterfly. Both complete bangers in their time.
Jordanstown junior parkrun:
Emily Murphy 8:10 and first finisher, Sinead O’Hare 9:00 and third finisher, Matthew Hawkins 11:51, Riley Kerr 11:52, Joseph Eager 11:52, Rhys Kerr 15:29
Other running started on Tuesday when our pocket rocket, Eloise McAuley, was 1st female at the U16 (being only 9 herself!) Rith An Chairn mountain race. Definitely a chip of the old cliff face.
Friday night saw some Harriers head for the beach as they took on the Newcastle Sea to Sky events:
5k
Emily Murphy 24:03, Sinead O’Hare 26:57, Dermot Boyd 32:33, Mairead O’Hare 40:02
10k
Mark Smith 39:08, Anton Piatek 48:42, Ciaran Wright 48:49, Nuala Muldoon 54:29
Then yesterday, 11 Harriers lost their heads in the heat and took on the Greyabbey 12 hour challenge. So how far could you run in 12 hours?
Neil Campbell 56.7 miles, Stephen Gallagher 53.1, Suzanne Brennan 49.6, Angela Stevens 46.0, Bernard McKeaveney 46.0, Stephen Armour 46.0, Joanne Milne 42.5, Sharon Dunn 42.5, Laura Campbell 35.4, Leeanne Skillen 35.4, Neill McGlinchey 31.9
Finally, thankfully, this morning Kevin Donnelly headed south to Co Louth to excellently named village of Termonfeckin. Partly, he was looking for village native, Evanna Lynch, who was the criminally underused Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films. But mostly he was there to run in their half marathon. It was well worth the effort as he finished third overall in a time of 1:23:59.
To be honest, I haven’t been away at all. I just couldn’t be bothered to write the reports. Minimal thanks to Work Experience Boy for his barely adequate cover.
But I do love him really, so this one is for him. The words say it better than I ever could. Boke.

Club Race Report – 10th July 2022

Just as we all thought thank god the Cavillator will be back this week and give us a half decent weekly report, nope not yet, it’s been reported that they have been detained another week due to laziness. It’s actually been a quiet week as everyone must’ve been enjoying the good weather and when I say good I mean not raining.

One last thing again from Mr Chairman about the club race on the 5th August, any members needing flyers be it for parkruns or races that haven’t got leaflets yet please see Bernard, Ian Simpson has taken on the role of race catering and he has already asked for some volunteers so please get in touch if you can help.
