Maria McCambridge of DSD proved the star of the 38th Ballycotton ’10’ when she smashed her own course record with a winning women’s time of 54 mins 20 secs. Not only that, but Maria now “owns” the three fastest women’s times in the race – she ran 54.48 in 2012 and 55.01 a year later. […]
A record entry, perfect weather and cracking races upfront – the 31st Raheny 5 will prove hard to beat in years to come.

Truly you couldn’t have made it up. Wearing No 1 at the Terenure 5-Mile in Dublin was Catherina McKiernan, one of the universally respected figures in Irish sport.
