Multyfarnham 5k 2019 (5th June)

Mullingar out in force to support Multyfarnham 5k

The heavy on and off rain on Wednesday 5th June threatened to spoil the Multyfarnham 5k but it brightened up in time before the race in the evening and with only a light drizzle now and then, the spectators and nearly 150 competitors were able to enjoy the event in relative comfort. Being so local, it was no surprise that Mullingar athletes featured strongly in the prizes in the various categories. In total, 33 Mullingar athletes competed, providing the first eight men finishers and first three women. Leading the field home was Padraig Moran in an impressive 15:14, some way ahead of James Keegan (16:47), Pauric Ennis (17:15), Eddie Newman (17:31) first in his master category, Gerard Gavin (17:34) first in his master category, Kieran Nolan (17:45) second in his master category, Gerard Brady (17:55) and Alan Crowley (17:59) to fill the top eight places.
