Whether you are a professional runner, a beginner, walker or a supporter the Larne Half Marathon is a fun day out for all involved. Last year many Premier Power employees took part in the race and this year we see more and more employees signing up and getting into training!
We would encourage everyone not only from Larne but from right across Northern Ireland to enter the Larne Half Marathon."
Andy Gregg, Chairman of Larne Athletic Club said, "Last year, the Premier Power Larne Half Marathon attracted more than 400 entrants. Relay teams and walkers have helped boost the number of athletes and fun runners heading to the beautiful coast to take part in the race.
