IMRA MUNSTER BALLYHOURA MIDNIGHT 28k CHALLENGE & 13K DASH


The IMRA MUNSTER BALLYHOURA MIDNIGHT 28K CHALLENGE & 13K DASH was held in Kilfinane, Co. Limerick on Friday 26th January. Conditions were perfect with a nice dry night. It was a beautiful night in the mountains with a lovely full moon lighting the way. Athletes had plenty of hills and some muddy terrain in places. We had one Athlete compete in the 13k dash, and a fantastic performance from Barry Hartnett to finish 1st overall, WINNING the race. This coming just 5 days after IIMRA Corrin Hill Trail Race where Barry placed 3rd male. Barry clocked a time of 51.53.
