Dee Runners

Races 

Huge congratulations to Andy Dainty who completed the last race of the season “Buzzards Roost” which took place in the Mourne Mountains with a great time of 2:23:44. Andy completed 9 out of 9 races in the Northen Ireland Mountain Running Association and was the only person to complete every single league race this season. What a fantastic commitment, consistency and determination throughout the season. Well done Andy!💪🎉🩵

It was a busy Sunday with 2 races in the calendar. First up was the Belfast Bay 10K with brothers Paul and Neil both put in fantastic performances crossing the finish line in 52:10 and 55:39 respectively 🎉🎉. But one race clearly wasn’t enough for Neil. He then headed to the Groomsport 10K later that day joining his fellow 18 Dee Runner friends for another brilliant race. Everyone give it their all, with several runners achieving fantastic PB’S . Huge congratulations to everyone who raced and to those who continue to put in the mile’s week after week. 🩵🥳🤩
