Full results HERE

Talking advantage of a beautiful sunny summer evening, nearly sixty members of Mullingar Harriers made the short journey to Coralstown on Wednesday 1st June to compete in the Coralstown National School 5k. This is an important fundraiser for the school and was sadly missed for two years due to the Covid pandemic, so it was great to see the event back on the fixture list again and getting such great support from Mullingar Harriers, adding big numbers to the over 200 that finished the race, ensuring it was a great success for the school.

Given how many runners there were from Mullingar, it was surprise that the they filled all but one of the top ten places in the men’s race, led home by race winner Vinny Connolly in a comfortable 15 minutes 49 seconds, with James Keegan second in 15:53 and Peter Mooney from Meath third in 16:00. In the women’s race, Aine O’Reilly won in 18 minutes 15 seconds, Michelle Bohan was second in 18:52, and Amy Mahony was third in 18:58. John Glennon was first juvenile boy (20:29) and Jessica Cunningham was first juvenile girl (20:51).
