A large crowd in excess of 250 turned out for the annual St. Johnston 5K last night which was held in perfect conditions for running.
Hosted by Lifford Athletic Club, the race continues to grow year on year and yet again, there was tremendous support from runners, joggers and walkers from across the county, with especially large numbers in attendance from the local club.
The Lifford club has endeavoured to bring road running into the heart of the communities from which it draws its support, and yet again, tonights event was an outstanding success.
It was a Derry trio that led the mens race home with Foyle Valley’s Adrian McGowan leading the way in 15.52 followed by City of Derry’s Gary Slevin in second and Foyle Valley’s Stephen Connor in third.
In the women’s race, Lifford AC’s Claire McGuigan led the way in 19.09 followed by City of Derry’s Jackie McGinley in second and Lifford AC’s Karen Gallagher in third.
The club would like to thank all athletes and clubs for turning out to support the event. Thanks also to the St. Johnston Carrigans Resource Centre, the Gardai, Lata’s Filling Station, all the course marshalls and everyone who made refreshments and helped out in any way.
