Roscommon 10 Mile 2019 (6th July)

Now in its sixth year, the Roscommon 10 Mile Road Race on Saturday morning 6th July proved its growing popularity with another sell-out entry of over 550. The course is fast and flat on the scenic outskirts of Roscommon Town, which attracts a good entry in itself but add in the legendary hospitality and post-race food and refreshments provided by Roscommon Harriers AC and a good crowd was always guaranteed. Conditions were good for running, overcast though a bit humid, and clearly suited the group from Mullingar that took part, led home by Evan McCormack in 10th place in 58:50, followed by Gerard Gavin (61:50), Maura Dervin (74:15) first in her master category, just ahead of Michelle O’Halloran (74:27), then came Vincent Glennon (76:28), Siobhan McCarthy (81:41) and Mervyn Kennedy (85:41).
