Newtownforbes 5k 2023 (26th Dec)

A regular favourite of Mullingar athletes and a great way to run off the Christmas turkey and pudding, the annual Shane Brennan 5k in Newtownforbes, Co. Longford on St. Stephen’s Day, attracted an excellent entry of nearly 340 runners, joggers and walkers. Ably representing Mullingar was Patrick Muldoon finishing in 18 minutes 42 seconds to place a very creditable 5th in his master category and Brigid McCabe in 23 minutes 58 seconds to easily win her master category by over 6 minutes.
