Coralstown NS 5k 2025 (28th May)
The Coralstown NS 5k was held on Wednesday 28th May on a breezy but cool and dry evening. Almost 300 took part, a record for the event which continues to grow year on year thanks to all the hard work put in by the local organising committee. Being so local, it’s no surprise that Mullingar Harriers was out in force and nearly 60 club members took part. Having placed well up but never winning in previous years, James Keegan put that right this year and was a clear winner of the race in 16:14. In the women’s race, Sinead Whitelaw finished very strong to place second woman in 18:42, just ahead of Susan Glennon third in 18:43. Mullingar athletes were prominent in the results, filling 6 of the top 10 places and winning category prizes from u/16 to master men and women, including Alan Crowley (17:39), Jason McKevitt (19:39), Mary Stuart (20:06), Criona Reid (20:29) and Paul Ginnell (21:33) all winning first prize in their master categories, and Scott Cogan (18:09) first u/16 boy and Liadan Gavin (23:32) first u/16 girl.
