Pictured is Gillian McCrory – a 43 year old busy, working mum of 3 children, who took up running just over 9 years ago completing a leg of the Belfast marathon for a work team. Shortly after she started running she was introduced to the Park Run and soon became a firm fixture at the City Park Park Run.  Her 5k personal best run stands at 18.36! She is a familiar face on the podium at local races but has also excelled at longer distances.
