Conor in fine form in 10k event on north coast

Conor Shiels who was sixth at the North Coast 10k.

This superbly well organized event was one with a difference as it incorporated a long run along the East Strand beach.

It was never going to be a fast course due to the sand and undulating course. Conor however coped well and crossed the line in 38mins 7secs. There was an overall entry of 177 runners.
