- Bronze Medal for Davy Clarke |
| Three Larne Athletic Club members travelled some distance to Scotstown in County Monaghan on Saturday to compete in the NI and Ulster Masters Cross Country Championship. The race was held over five laps, totaling 7500m, on what is probably the only completely flat area for miles around. At first the course looked remarkably dry and well drained; however this proved premature as large stretches turned to thick, heavy mud as the race progressed.

- James McIlroy Winner at Race Over The Glens |
| Larne Athletic Club’s James McIlroy was the convincing winner of the 2012 Race Over the Glens, the traditional start to the New Year for local runners. James finished in a time of 33:17, over a minute clear of second placed David Simpson of Corstorphine to win the event he last won back in 1998. Promoted by Ballymena Runners, the race was held over a demanding 5.5 mile circuit on trails through Glenariff Forest Park and included some 1000 feet of climbing. A record 296 runners competed this year including almost thirty from Larne AC.
