Over 300 athletes took to the start line for the 8th edition of the run, bike, run event.
The first run of 5.5k Turned into a ding dong battle between Michael Reilly Shercock AC Cavan and Anthony Murray MultiSport Westport, the Cavan man eventually extending a lead in the bike stage to secure a big win…
The ladies race was one way traffic with Swinford’s sensation Maeve Gallagher opening huge lead on the field to win comfortably.
