“Braveheart 5k” 2024 (14th June)

The “Braveheart 5k” organised by Trim AC took place on a very warm evening on Friday 14th June in the Porchfields in Trim. This race is noted for its scenic route along the banks of the River Boyne and as the over 500 runners progressed through the course they could take in the sights of one of the finest collections of medieval monuments in Ireland. We had three athletes taking the notably challenging off-road terrain in their stride. First home for Mullingar was Susan Glennon, determined to take the win and this she did in style, crossing the finish line in a fantastic 19 minutes 21 seconds. Next home was Linda Cunningham in 22:24 and Michelle O’Halloran completed the group in 23:47, delighted to be awarded a prize for second place in her master category [LC].
