Picture: Columba O'HareThirty Seven Year Old Richhill native Richard Turkington took top spot in front of an extremely enthusiastic crowd at todays Newry Marathon on a cold but mostly dry day.

Finishing in a time of 2:38 he was closely followed by seasoned Newry City Runner Don Travers at 2:39, winner of the race in 2009 and 2010.

Pride of place in this years Marathon had to go to Team Dariush who had numerous runners taking part in memory of their friend Darius Mehrtash who passed away in January this year.
