"Seapark AC takes great pride in all the benefits it offers in showcasing the town, while encouraging more people to get active and enjoy a fantastic day out. Now those who took part will know they have also helped to support local charity Aware too.
In addition to Aware, donations from Seapark AC were also given to the Gateway Senior Club in Carrickfergus, supporting adults with learning difficulties, the Vineyard Church who provide post-race refreshments and the Model Primary School. All of these organisations helped ensure the overall success of the event.
