Barf runners have been out and about again over this last week or so . Last Sunday Geoff Smyth made a return to the roads taking on the EAMS Knockaghthon managing just over 40 miles on return from injury setbacks .

Declan McGrellis travelled to Scotland to take on the Ochill 200 mountain race , a 32 km race across a tough mountain range with 1800 metres of elevation on a very warm day , he battled the heat and cramp to complete the course in 4 hours 49.

Philip Ward was also in action Saturday and Sunday in Armagh as he completed back to back trail marathons on the tough Folley Glen course with very strong running from Philip on both days .
