The Meath Hill running championships took place at Mullaghmeen Forest near
Oldcastle on Sunday. The host club St Brigids AC set out a five kilometre
trail which took the runners to the cairn which marks the highest point of
counties Meath and Westmeath. The popularity of this event has grown from
modest numbers over the past five years to this years one hundred
participants. Many of those taking part had never been involved in hill or
trail running before. They were rewarded with a fine running experience and
good competitive action. Course director Gerard Heery from the host club, St
Brigids AC took top spot again this year and in so doing emerged as the
winner of the Irish Mountain Running Association spring league series as
well as county champion. In the womens race Cavan youngster Eadaion O Reilly
was the top finisher overall while the county title went to Karen O Hanlon
from Dunboyne AC.
