On May Day,  Monday 2nd May, 2011, 24 Aquinas pupils, in five relay teams,  took part in the 30th Annual Belfast City Marathon.  Those involved trained hard twice a week after school for three months, showing real dedication and determination.  Their efforts really paid off on the day with a fantastic performance, one of the five teams coming in at an impressive 99th place out of 2282 teams, with a time of 3:30:50.

These teams were not put together exclusively for runners and athletes, but rather for those people who wanted to challenge themselves by trying something new and to be a part of a fantastic team no matter what their ability.  Every team member ran their own race and they should be as proud of themselves as we are of them!

Well done!
