CARNFUNNOCK HANDICAP – 26 DECEMBER 2025Carnfunnock once again played host to the club’s Boxing Day Handicap, the third Wear it Out Wear it Out sponsored 2025/26 handicap series. Traditionally the only race in the series open to non-members, this year, probably for the first time, saw the number of guest runners who crossed the finish line exceed the number of finishers from Larne AC. And that’s as much of a report that you’re getting. However, it wouldn’t be right to finish without some well-deserved thanks and congratulations, so here goes.
First of all, congratulations to Max Beattie, winner of the race in the very Gemma Daviestime of 36:41; to Gemma Davies who took second place in 38:36Jordan B Heronngratulation to Jordan B Heron, who was third across the line and also the winner of the club handicap in 27:44, the fastest time of the day by some margin. Second home in the handicaMatthew Johnston placing, was Matthew Johnston in 36:John Steelehird place went to John Steele, also his best placing in a handicap, in 36:29. The second and third fastest times of the daNat Glennt by Phil Rennix and Nat Glenn respectively in 31:36 and 32:30, while the fastest time Janice Plumb37:13, was set by Janice Plumb, with the second and third fastest times going Hannah Gingles, in 37:55, and Gemma D, in 38:36. Congratulations to all.
Now the thank-yous. Thanks to all the runners, guests and club members alike, who turned out for the race and made it the enjoyable event that it hopefully was for so many people. Thanks also to all the marshals who ensured that all the runners stayed on course – I would name each of you individually but for fear of leaving someone out; to Jackie, Iain, Maz, Ciara and Elaine for helping with the timing; to Diane for organising the prizes; to Michelle and Emmett for providing the tea, coffee and goodies; to all the friends and family members who turned out to support the race; and last but most definitely not least to Wear it Out for their continued and much appreciated sponsorship of the handicap series.
All the times and places are set out in the table below. There was some confusion at the start of the race which resulted in some last minute adjustments to some starting times (I’ll not name and shame anyone) so I apologise in advance if any of the times are incorrect, however, I am happy to take any complaints about this issue. Such complaints must be in writing and should be addressed to The Waste Paper Container, Larne Recycling Centre, The Harbour Highway, Larne.

Perfect weather conditions and great support made for some fun running amongst the 22,000 people at the start line a mix doing the half and the full marathon distance.
