Sunday morning in Belfast saw the Feile an Phobail 5 and 10k road race.
These races are part of the local community arts festival and always draw a big crowd for both races.
The race started at Malone College and headed out across West Belfast, turning back at Hugo Street to the finish at Malone College. With cool damp conditions the dynamic duo of Caroline McNabb and Deirdre Weatherall made the trip to Belfast for this 10k challenge.
With 926 runners on the start line from the off, Caroline Macnabb headed to the front and stayed there putting in another great run.
She finished in seventh position overall, and was the first lady across the line in a time of 37 minutes 31 seconds. It was a great result for Caroline.
Deirdre, after her third place in the ladies race at Ardglass in mid week, was looking for another strong run.
She will be happy to have beaten her time from Ardglass, coming home in 40th position in a time of 42 minutes 35 seconds.
A great morning’s work from both of these ladies.
