St. Coca’s AC “Kilcock 10 Mile” 2018 (19th August)

Eddie Newman cruises through the 9 mile mark

The first running of a 10 mile road race in Kilcock on Sunday 19th August organised by St. Coca’s AC had nearly 500 finishers, which is extremely impressive for an inaugural event. The event was billed as the Kilcock “10 from 10” as it was a 10 mile race held 10 weeks away from the Dublin City Marathon in late October.

Eddie Newman used the race as a training run and finished just under the hour with 59:59 to place 28th overall and take third prize in his master category. Hans de Raeymaeker was next (64:15), followed by Nollaig McEntegart (67:27) winning his master category, then came Stephen Naughton (72:01) and Brian Boyle (85:08) to complete the Mullingar group.
