Streets of Clane 5k 2022 (15th Feb)

The inaugural Streets of Clane 5k was held on a wet miserable windy Tuesday evening 15th February There were two races on the night, the Open 5k and the Elite 5k, and proving that runners are hardy people, the dreadful conditions weren’t enough to deter the 152 runners that ran in the Elite Race or the nearly 400 that ran in the Open Race, each three laps around the Streets of Clane, Co. Kildare on a fast flat course. Running his first 5k in over 6 years was Vinny Connolly who was very satisfied with his 15:48 time in the Elite 5k and is looking forward to his next race. Joan Flynn also ran in the Elite race, finishing in 18:32, which was good enough to win her master category. Among those running in the Open 5k was Gordon Ward (22:45), Muireann Reihill (22:54), second Junior girl, and Kevin Reihill (26:45) bravely battling the elements and no doubt happy to finish and get out of the wind and rain and back to shelter again.
