Pegasus athletes were involved in a few of races over the early Easter month which ranged from the demanding mountains in the Glens of Antrim to the long, hard roads of Omagh.  All in all, 5 runners represented the Coleraine club.

Starting with the 6 mile Glenariff Mountain Race, Peter Bell was the sole Pegasus runner who put in a decent performance up and down the 1100ft mountain to finish in 34^th out of 67 and 4^th Vet 50, despite suffering from a number of winter injuries.  Jason Wilson, back from a long standing injury took part in the Irish Universities Mountain Running Championship held in Wicklow representing the University of Ulster.  Despite his race rustiness, 18^th overall out of 91, 8^th university position and first Under 20 runner was consolation for a long trip down to the ‘garden of Ireland’!  The winner was Ciaran Collins (also of the University of Ulster).

Moving onto the roads, the Spar Omagh Half Marathon took place at the end of the month and involved 3 of our runners.  703 hardy souls lined up for the main event, which was eventually won by Brian McMahon in a blistering time of 1:08:02.  First home for the club was Stephen O’Hara (aka Frankie Dettori) in a personal best time of 1:29:19.  This left him in a creditable 82^nd.  Another PB fell to the ‘wee woman’ Linda Gillen, who galloped home in a time of 1:45:02.  Tess McComb was the other finisher in 1:55:29 and 9^th V40 finisher.
