John Buckley Sports 5Km BHAA

A massive crowd (1,015 runners) attended the John Buckley Sports 5Km on Tuesday evening. It was almost fifteen minutes late starting due to the delays at the pre entered desks.

Our first man home was Paul Spiteri who had a brilliant run especially considering he was working since 5am this morning. Our first lady was Dee Duran who ran a PB breaking the 20min barrier for the first time. Our C2 5K graduates all ran superbly and did the group proud. 

Prizewinners

Kathleen O'Connell 1st O/70

Michael Beirne 3rd O/60 and Michael also got a PB 

The only downer was that the traffic on the way home was brutal with traffic works on Albert Road and the N25 closed eastbound with diversions it took well over an hour to get home.
