Write a commentSaturday past saw local man Dermot Mathers run 105 laps of the new athletics track at St Colman's Sports complex in the grounds of the college. This made him the first person to run a full Marathon on the new track.
Dermot who was was joined by fellow Newry City Runners who ran alongside him for support, took part in the challenge as part of his training for the Newry City Runners Treadmill World Record attempt in March 2012.
The Record attempt will raise funds for the Southern Area Hospice. If you would like to know more about Dermot's challenge in 2012 you can check it out on on the Newry City Runners website, Facebook or show your support by donating at http://www.justgiving.com/Dermot-Mathers
