Divis 10K Race Report

by Nuala Muldoon

Despite some road work disruption we managed to get 116 people from the Hannahstown carpark to the summit of Divis and back. A tough route in warm conditions but well worth the effort with beautiful views and of course all for a great cause, Action on Hearing Loss.
