PARTICIPANT REVIEWS 2015

Jonathan Brownlee:
I just wanted to send a quick message to say thanks a lot for being so welcoming in Armagh. I loved the event and had an incredible time.

I hope to be back!!

Ronhill Cambuslang Harriers:
On behalf of Ronhill Cambuslang Harriers I would like to thank you and all your club members connected with the Armagh International Road Races for once again inviting us to participate. As you correctly said it is not just a sporting event but also a great cultural occasion where athletes from different countries come together and mix in a friendly way.

The warm welcome and generous hospitality shown by yourselves to us and to all runners is second to none and your running feast caters for the young and old along with the slow and the fast. This year your 5K race enhanced its reputation of being the fastest 5k in the UK and hopefully it will be given the recognition it deserves.
