McKinstry crowned half marathon champion
Over six hundred athletes turned out for the event staged in Ards over an undulating course
McKinstry was indeed prominent from the off and had Andrew Annett and Andrew Monaghan for company in the early stages before breaking clear at 3 miles. This was to prove a decisive move as he swept to victory in superb fashion clocking a 3minute personal best to finish in 70mins 21secs.
