Two hundred and forty teams of two took part in the annual Mourne Mountain Marathon last weekend. The two day navigation and endurance event was sponsored by Lowe Alpine and Jackson Sports and this year started from Spelga Dam. A large number of competitors came from outside Northern Ireland and they dominated the results across all four classes.

 

The premier class, the Elite Class, was won by Ian Nixon and Stephen Bottomley from Leeds.  The Pudsey & Bramley AC  pair clocked nine hours and one minute for the 36 mile course which involved 7,000 feet of climb, to win by 10.46 from Jon Aylward and Dave Wilby, also from Leeds. Billy Reed (East Antrim Harriers) and Gerry Kingston (BARF) were the top local team finishing in third place in 10.11.04
