Hi Runners
Well done and thanks to all who completed today's race - the results are posted below. Congratulations to David Reilly, Loughrea AC, who won in a great time of 29:29. Caroline Burke kept the Portumna flag flying by being the first lady to finish in a very respectable 36:50. Cillian Walsh took the Junior Section prize in 41:57, in what was his first 8k race, a super achievement for him.
Runners were blessed with perfect weather conditions on a flat course. Particular thanks to those who travelled today, and it was great to chat with runners from clubs throughout Galway and Tipperary in particular.
The unsung heroes of these days are the Marshalls and other organisers, many of whom were 'chomping at the bit' to be on the start line.
We hoped that you enjoyed the day and that you will join us again next year for this race. On the basis of the turnout and feedback from today, we believe that this is a race that people of all abilities will enjoy.
We will post photos later in the week.
Again, thanks for your support!!
