Apologies if i misspelt any name above.

We experienced a delay in posting the above results, as there were some runners who either ran a lap too many or a lap short, as has been the norm in this race in the past. It was great to see so many runners toe the line for the penultimate track race of the series. Many thanks to our Club President; Paddy Marley and Ladies and Mens Captains; Joe and Pamela Cooper for their presence. Many thanks also to all who volunteered to make this race happen. Many thanks too, to Caroline and Paddy Tuite for the after race refreshments.
