Ace AC 5k 2023 (2nd Jan)

Conor Sherwin finishes in third place

Making a very welcome return after cancellation last year due to Covid restrictions, the Ace AC 5k in Drogheda, Co. Louth attracted more than 200 runners on a cold but dry bright morning on bank holiday Monday 2nd January, all delighted to toe the line and use the race to ring in the New Year. Conor Sherwin showed real class from the gun, staying right up with the leaders most of the way, with gaps in the leading group only appearing in the final closing stages, but he finished very strong and was delighted to cross the line in third place in a swift 17 minutes 1 second to bring 2023 in with a bang.
