Steep, Steep & Even
Steeper
168 runners braved the traffic jams to reach
the Head Road on the south side the Mournes
last Thursday evening – they came from
all parts – Belfast, Larne, Ballymena,
the Sperrins, Omagh, Armagh, Castleblayney,
Dublin and of course the heart bed of local
fell running - the Mournes and surrounding area.

Hill and Dale Race

Duncan makes it a hat-trick in an epic
This week, the 3rd race in the Hill and Dale
Race Series took the runners to the beautiful
Kilbroney Forest Park in Rostrevor, but behind
the beauty was the beast in the form of the
485mt climb to Slieve Martin. Some of the trackies
wimped out this week but were replaced by an
additional 28 brave new souls - where do they
keep coming from? More...

Duncan impresses in a record turnout
The 2008 Hill & Dale Race Series got off
to a brilliant start last Thursday in Castlewellan
Forest Park with the traditional opener –
the McVeigh Classic. After last year’s
161 runners (surpassed the following week in
Tollymore with 164 runners) no one really expected
that another record would be set, but it was
with 169 runners starting and finishing. Results

Bereavement
We regret to announce the death of former Newcastle
AC member, John Sloan, suddenly on holiday at
the weekend. John was a regular competitor in
mountain races, missing out a couple of seasons
due to injury. He returned to active competition
in 2007, also the year that he joined the club.
John had a very long association with the Hill
and Dale, having participated from the first
year of the series and had also competed the
predecessor to this series, the Forest and Fell
race league. No funeral arrangement are known
at this stage but we will update members later.
Our sympathy is expressed to his wife Eleanor
and son Jonathan. |
