Trim Runners prominent in the race to the Park
8,500 runners, joggers, walkers, made their way to the Phoenix Park last Saturday
morning for the 2011 National Lottery Dublin Half Marathon.
Meath club runner Mark Hoey (Star of the Sea AC) took the honours with his
time of 1:08:50. Hoey who has represented Meath on cross country teams had the biggest win of his senior career is looking like a good prospect for next months DCM.
There was good turnout from Trim Athletic Club
with a few half marathon debutantes and three personal bests from the more
experienced crew. For a lot of the runners, today was a big test of how
their legs would hold up for the big one on the 31st of October. The record
number of participants is a strong indication that the numbers for the 32nd
edition of the National Lottery Dublin Marathon will follow suit and exceed
the 13,000 plus who took part last year.Entry remains open for the National
Lottery Dublin Marathon until Monday 3rd October, see www.dublinmarathon.ie
for details.
The Trim results were Don Mahon, 1.24; John Ferry, 1.25, Quinton
Bourke,1.31, Brian Cully,1.25,Joe Mc Namara, 1.27,Evelyn
Ferguson,1.47,Conrad McGonagle, 1.59, Heather Carty,2.06, Jane Murphy, 2.10.
Great efforts and results from all concerned and they must be very
satisified that their training is paying dividends.
