Bohermeen Half Marathon 2025 (9th March)

Bohermeen AC held their annual Bohermeen Half Marathon on Sunday morning 9th March. The race, which is run over two laps on a course known to be one of the fastest in Ireland, attracted an entry of nearly 1,000 runners. Run in bright sunshine with a slight breeze, conditions were ideal for the race. There were plenty of water stations on the well marshalled course, which was closed to traffic for the duration of the race, adding to the safety for athletes. Mullingar Harriers had 11 athletes participating and all were very satisfied with their respective runs, part of their longer-term targets in the coming months. First home of our runners was Griffin Kearney in 1:21:16, followed by Ciara Foy in 1:25:43. Dara O’Shea was pleased with his efforts coming home in 1:28:22, ahead of James Cribbin with an excellent 1:28:52. Mary Stuart broke the hour and a half mark again, finishing in 1:29:25 to win her master category. John Keane was next with a fine run in 1:39:51. Niamh Doherty finished in 1:40:54, while Emer O’Hanlon continued her consistent progress in the longer distances finishing in 1:42:55, followed by Conor Corcoran (1:45:34). Barry White competed in the club colours for the first time and had an excellent run to finish in 1:45:38, followed by Paula Murphy (1:56:54) [MO’S].
