- Larne Athletic Club Annual Presentation Dinner |
 | Larne Athletic Club held its annual dinner and presentation of prizes on Friday evening in Chekker’s Wine Bar. Club chairman Andy Gregg welcomed club members and guests and gave a brief overview of the highlights of the club’s season. Special thanks were given to all those who have supported the club throughout the last year including sponsors Premier Power Limited, P&O Irish Sea and to The Wine Bar for their support of the Handicap Series. Thanks were extended to the club committee, members and friends without whose hard work events such as the Larne Half Marathon, the Knock Dhu Mountain Challenge Race, the Interclub Challenge Race or the Handicap Series could not have taken place.

- Binevenagh Mountain Race |
 | The organiser’s had warned of snow – lots of it - and only decided to proceed with the race after an early morning course inspection. However, standing in sunny conditions in a snow-free car-park prior to the race, it was hard to predict what would be in store for runners at the top. As it turned out, once the runners left the shelter of the forest on the first climb they entered what felt like another world with up to 6 inches of snow around the normally runable base of the cliffs.

- BALLYGALLY HANDICAP |
 | The call of Ballygally on Northern Ireland’s very own Riviera coast, where the pewter sea meets a pewter beach and seabirds hang in a pewter sky (the good thing about writing about Ballygally is that you don’t have to waste too much time searching for adjectives) was too strong to ignore for the twenty-eight runners who turned out for the fifth race in Larne Athletic Club’s 2009/10 Wine Bar sponsored handicap series. Unfortunately, the louder call of a friend’s stag night celebrations on Friday was even harder to ignore so James Brown was in no fit state to defend the title he won so impressively last year.

- GLENARM HANDICAP 2010 |
 | The Earl of Antrim’s estate in Glenarm once again played host to the Club’s annual cross country outing, the fourth race in our Wine Bar sponsored 2009/10 handicap series. Run over the same fields as last year, the course was virtually mud-free, but three weeks of hard frost meant that underfoot conditions were far from ideal, so it was with some trepidation that the sixteen runners foolhardy enough to commit themselves to the race took their places at the start. In fact, one runner was so concerned about his delicate legs that he almost tiptoed round the course, looking, in the process, about as elegant as an elephant in a tutu dancing a scene from the Nutcracker.
