Monklands Half Marathon

Results | Garmin track | Route

A 3-lap route through Drumpellier Country Park. A smaller 5km loop, followed by 2 larger 5 mile laps.

I set off with a time of around 1:22 in mind. I stuck with John Duffy and Mike Anderson for a while but eventually got dropped.

By the final 5 mile lap, I was feeling pretty tired and despite trying to press on, I still got caught by Andrew Callan about 600 metres from the end.

My finish time was about 1:23:56, which was a bit slower than I’d hoped for, but it was still a good workout on a Sunday morning.

Robert Gilroy won the race for an impressive 9th year in a row.
