Saturday 21st July - Jewson International Snowdon Race
Esther Dickson represented at Snowdon on Saturday for the Northern Ireland Mountain Team.
This race is considered as one of the greatest in the world of mountain running and attracted top runners from 10 different countries.
In gloomy conditions the prestigious challenge was a 10 mile race which started from the edge of Lake Padarn in the village of Llanderis leading up to the highest summit (Snowdon) in Wales and England and then a tough return descent.
The Northern Ireland Ladies Team all finished in the top 15 in the Ladies Elite Race with Esther performing strongly taking 14th place in a great time of 1:31:33.
Well done, Esther.
