Braveheart 5k 2025 (13th June)

The Braveheart 5k trail race, held by Trim AC, took place on a warm evening on Friday 13th June at the Porchfields in Trim. The off-road course took nearly 500 athletes on a trip through history at the beautiful setting of Trim Castle, Newtown Abbey and along the banks of the River Boyne. The Yellow Steeple provided a scenic uphill finish to a tough race. First home from Mullingar Harriers was John Glennon in an impressive time for this course of 17:01, fourth overall and 1st u/20 man, followed closely by Andrew Glennon in 17:30, 2nd u/20 man. Susan Glennon repeated her placing of last year and was a convincing winner in a fast time of 19:15.
