Rosemount Half Marathon & 10k 2019 (12th Oct)

After a very successful inaugural event last year, the second edition of the Rosemount Half Marathon & 10k took place on a cool but dry Saturday morning 12th October, with both races attracting good entries.

The first race was the Half Marathon with 212 finishers where finishing strongly in seventh place was Eddie Newman in 1:23:09 to win his master category by over a minute and Aisling Corcoran finishing well up in 1:45:59 to place second in her master category. These are very good results for the two of them. Eddie has been fighting to recover from recent injury and was undecided about competing in the Dublin City Marathon at the end of October, but used the race to help him decide if he is ready or not, so thankfully it looks like a positive outcome for him.

The 10k race started after the half marathon was well underway and featuring strongly from the outset was James Keegan who was very pleased to finish strongly in second place in 34:45. Well done to all the Mullingar athletes that ran and well done too to Rosemount GAA for hosting another very successful event.
