Official Ballinrobe Smarter Travel Run Results

Cool dry conditions greeted the runners on Saturday evening in Ballinrobe for the flattest and fastest course in the Great Lakes Challenge series.The Ballinrobe 10k event was the 4th and last round of the series.

The 5k event attracted walkers and some keen young runners whose talent will be sure to shine in the years to come.

The times were fast on the 10k course with a new course record set by Matt Bidwell of Galway in 32:06, many other athletes set PB’s and were extremely happy with their performances.

Treacy’s Pharmacy/Picture of Health sponsored the prizes. The event was held in conjunction with Mayo County Council promoting Smarter Travel for the town of Ballinrobe.

Many of the local organisations helped and supported with the organisation of the events, Western Lakes CC, Ballinrobe Tidy Towns, Ballinrobe Men’s Shed Group, Ballinrobe County Council Branch, Westport Order of Malta, Lakeside Sports and Fitness Gym, Art O’ Neill’s bar and the organizers of the GLCS.
