Since then, she has picked up a prize at the “Run in the Dark” in Belfast and also slashed her 10k personal best to 38:23 at the Seeley Cup.

The 13.1 mile route will take the athletes around the town centre, onto the Coast Road, where they will make their way towards Ballygally and a short inland section before making their way back along the Coast Road, finishing along the atmospheric promenade behind Larne Leisure Centre.
