It’s images like this that makes photographing amateur athletics worthwhile. 

Here’s Jordan Heron of North Belfast Harriers, who has just crossed the finish line, running 5 miles in just 26:12 minutes and achieving overall first place in the Broughshane 5 Mile Race, organised by Ballymena Runners. These people train hard and give their best for pure enjoyment and personal satisfaction.  To capture their achievement photographically is not just a challenge, it is a privilege.
