Streets of Portlaoise 5k 2024 (17th Mar)

 

The annual Streets of Portlaoise 5k took place on the morning of St. Patricks Day. There was a small representation from Mullingar Harriers, who all enjoyed the fast race through the town. Kevin Moore was the first Harrier home in 22nd place with a time of 16 minutes 4 seconds, followed by Sinead Whitelaw (10th woman) in 18 minutes 1 second. Kieran Nolan (18:42), Ann Hall (19:19), Linda Cunningham (22:15) and Michelle O’Halloran (23:03) completed the Mullingar group [SW].

As this was the first race in the Peugeot Race Series for 2024, Mullingar Harriers had hoped to field a full team of three men and three women, but this proved difficult on a day when so many athletes were racing in the AON Mullingar Half Marathon. The club will now look forward to fielding a full team at the next race in the series in Kilkenny in two weeks [SW].
