On Sunday 29th An Riocht AC hosted the first LEE STRAND Kingdom Come 10miler in Castleisland.
It was a dry, cool day with a strong 25Km/hr wind. The strong wind was the talking point amongst the 231 runners who competed in the race. Just to make the course more challenging the strong wind was in the runners faces as they started into the 1.5mile incline.
Congratulations to An Riocht organisers who had the route well marked out and plenty of stewards along the way.
