THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER …
Northern Standard photographer Rory Geary was on hand to capture this impressive study of athlete Leslie Crawford, who completed his 100th marathon last weekend in the first official Athletics Association of Ireland endorsed event of this distance ever to take place in Monaghan Town.
The Monaghan Phoenix-hosted event, following a route which embraced the scenic surrounds of Rossmore Forest Park along its length, was a notable success and attracted participants from across the country. See our sports pages for extensive coverage of the big occasion.
