Barcelona Half Marathon 2026 (15th Feb)

Mullingar Harriers stalwart Claire Fagan travelled to Spain on Sunday 15th February to compete in the Barcelona Half Marathon, a World Athletics Gold Label Race. Claire ran a controlled race from the start and was rewarded with a new personal best of 1:13:56, a 40 second improvement on her previous best, which she set in Paris last March. Claire covered the first 5k in 17:38 and was able to pick up the pace marginally over the next 5k, which she covered in 17:28, followed by 17:35 to take her to 15k, then 17:23 to reach 20k, an extremely well balanced pace throughout. Congratulations to Claire on an excellent performance.
