Streets of Portlaoise 5k 2019 (17th March)

Drawing such top class athletes as John Travers (Donore Harriers) and Linda Byrne (DSD) the Streets of Portlaoise 5k continues to grow in popularity and over 900 runners, joggers and walkers took part on St. Patrick’s Day. Padraig Moran kept in contention in what was a very competitive race upfront and was rewarded with an excellent sixth place finish in 15:01 and has good reason to be very pleased with his effort. Sinead Whitelaw finished strongly alongside Ken Whitelaw in an excellent 18:07, which placed her sixth woman in a very competitive women’s entry. These were fast times by Padraig and Sinead and will give them great confidence for the season ahead.
