06 October 2025
Unfortunately, on Saturday due to a weather warning in place the NI Masters XC Championships which due to be held at the Dub were cancelled. However, the aftermath of storm Amy did not deter our local athletes from competing both at home and across the water the following day.
On Sunday the Armagh 10 miles road race saw a double for Annadale Striders with Cameron Stewart winning the men’s race in 52.54 and Dearbhla Cox the women’s race in 59.46 just ahead of Olympic Marathoner Breege Connolly.
In Cardiff at the Cardiff International Half Marathon Jessica Craig (North Down) continued her return to form finishing 14th in 74.44 just outside her lifetime best.
There was a win for North Down’s Kyle McLellan in the newly resurrected Groomsport 10k which was also held on Sunday with Victoria Kelly from Saintfield Striders winning the women’s race.
Whilst, in the US Cara Laverty (Finn Valley) and Anna Gardner (East Down) were 37th and 54th in the Sean Earl Loyola Lakeland invite XC meet in Chicago
