Murlough AC Runners Complete Rathlin Lighthouse Challenge, Raise £300 for Charity
Ten members of Murlough Athletics Club travelled to Rathlin Island on Saturday to compete in the first Rathlin Lighthouse Challenge.
The group, comprising nine women and one man, covered a 16-mile route that started and finished at Church Bay and passed three lighthouses: West, East and Rue.
Strong winds swept across the island but conditions were otherwise suitable for running. All ten runners completed the course.
Paula Earley secured a category win, while Ciara Laverty raised £300 for the Cancer Fund for Children.
Club members took photographs and video of the surroundings during the run but did not spot any puffins.
