🌟 The Bigger Picture
With the field capped at 1,750 and entries selling out well ahead of race day, Laganside continues to be one of the standout dates on the Belfast running calendar — a genuine mix of sharp club racing up front and a huge community turnout behind it. Big credit to North Belfast Harriers and their army of volunteers and marshals for another smoothly run event. 👏
Well done to everyone who crossed the line today! 🏃♂️🏃♀️🎽
