Galway Bay 10k 2019 (5th Oct)

The West of Ireland was still suffering the final throes of Storm Lorenzo on Saturday morning 5th October, so conditions were very tough for the nearly 1,500 finishers of the Galway Bay 10k. The route was one single loop, but included the promenade at Salthill where the heavy rain and very strong wind nearly stopped the runners in their tracks at times. Therefore, the performances by the Mullingar pair that competed are all the more impressive. Sinead Whitelaw finished a fantastic 7th overall in 38:49, the 2nd woman to finish, ahead of Amy Mahony in 47:56, delighted to finish in the top 100 places overall.

Congratulations to Sinead and Amy for such sterling performances in extreme conditions.
