Portadown Festival of RunningOn Sunday 22nd March, Larne Athletic Club travelled to Portadown to take part in the Festival of Running, superbly organised by Portadown Running Club. The Half Marathon course followed a gently undulating route to Gilford before dropping down onto the Newry Canal towpath and a long, flat return to the finish. Conditions were ideal, with none of the headwind encountered last year.
In the Half Marathon, Martan Keane was first home for the club with a superb new Personal Best time of 1:18:35. Martan finished in 19th place overall, winning first Vet45. Billy Thompson was next home for Larne AC, running strongly and finishing as third Vet60 in a time of 1:29:19, while Andy Gregg was pleased with his time of 1:34:40. Andy was followed closely by Megan McMurray, whose time of 1:34:47 was an incredible 7-minute improvement on her previous PB.
Dom Dorris finished next in 1:37:28, followed by Juliane Keane in 1:46:26. Eddie Finn achieved the third club PB on the day with a time of 1:59:45, while Michele Woods finished in 2:08:03.
In the 5K event, Jordan Heron demonstrated his current strong form, winning the event outright in a time of 16:47

Congratulations to our very own Juliane Keane who took home the award for Sportsperson with a Disability at the Mid and East Antrim Borough Council Sports Awards after setting a new Guiness World Record (three hours, 53 minutes and two seconds) for the fastest marathon completed by a woman with multiple sclerosis (MS). ππΌ The impressive primary school teacher has lived with MS for two decades and never expected to be able to do a marathon. Incredibly, she completed the 2025 London Marathon in a record time making history in the process.
