Winning the women’s race by almost a minute was Aoife Talty of Raheny Shamrock, who clocked a time of 34:47. Siobhan O’Doherty of Borrisokane was second and Raheny’s Barbara Sanchez third. Of the starters, 3,112 broke the hour.

Keith Whyte was forced to drop out at around 80km. Winner of the race in 6:53.14 was Asier Cuevas of Spain.
* Dunshaughlin’s Robbie Matthews made it two victories in two days when he won the Royal County 5km in Kells, Co Meath. A day earlier, Matthews had won the RTE BHAA 5-Mile in Dublin.
