Brendan Teer takes men’s title as Joanne Mills retains ladies top prize:

On Tuesday 3rd September 2013 nearly one hundred and forty athletes turned out for the traditional Mill Hill Mile road race in Castlewellan.

Thanks to all who donated towards the Shimna Valley Cancer Care for Children Charity. A total of £578.71 was raised on the night and Newcastle AC donated a further £500 to bring the total to £1078.71. Continue reading →
