WHO says there’s no going back?
Well Carndonagh athlete Garett Doherty returned to his Inishowen roots today – and ran the Ballyliffin Coastal Challenge 10-mile race….backwards.
Of course Garret is actually a world champion at Retro Racing as it’s called.
And today he was able to show off his incredible athleticism on the route of the world’s most spectacular race.
This traditional Easter Saturday event on the Inishowen peninsula was once again a credit to the local organising committee.
With 670 starters in the main event walking /running and a further 120 youngsters participating in the Childrens 1k Beach Run adding to the family element of the event it goes from strength to strength with many participating for the charity of their choice.
This year’s race winner was Derry man Pius McIntyre from local man John Harkin, the race winner two years ago.
There was also an impressive women’s winner in Karen Alexander of Sperrin Harriers.
Full results within the next few hours here on Donegal Daily.
