Strong Dundrum AC Representation at Streets of Thurles 5K

STREETS OF THURLES 5K 

The debut of the Streets of Thurles 5k was held on Thursday, August 15th. They had a huge field of just under 400 runners over this new race which started on Mitchel Street and down into the Square, down the Slievenamon Road to Lidl and turned to meet the avenues and back onto Friar Street to the Square. It was another loop from the Square with a finish at the bottom of the Square. It was a nice dry summer's evening. We had 20 athletes take part. First home for the club in a great time was 9th Philip O'Dwyer 17:10, he was closely followed by 10th Dymphna Ryan 17:12. Dymphna had a great race to be the clear winner of the women's race. Next, we had 29th Michael Ryan 18:55, 69th Michael Moore 20:22, 73rd Karen Coughlan 20:25, 86th Emily Leahy 21:00, 96th Ruaidhri Devitt 21:16, 114th Denise Compton 21:44, 152nd Laura McCarthy Armstrong 23:12, 153rd John Barry 23:12, 232nd Marian Croke 26:28 and 239th Pat Hayes 26:49.
