Rock on
Posted by Ciaran Tobin on 6 August 2013
It was a case of rock around the clock for the 6500 runners who set out on the first ever Dublin Rock and Roll marathon which incorporated the national half marathon championships. Live music of various hues was alid on every mile of the route to keep a twinkle in the toes of the runners. Born to Run which got plenty of renditions by the Boss around Ireland in recent weeks greeted the runners across the finish line nead the NCH on Earlsfort Terrace. Among the happy runners "recording " good times and some pbs were the following Trim athletes. Mark Melia 1.26.27, Mark Saunders,1.28.17Andy Reilly, 1.38.33, Barry O' Callaghan,1.41.56,Maurice Maurice Brennan,1.41.27Brenda Ni Phiarais,2.01.18. Well done all.
On Friday evening Ann Tobin finished 3rd in the W50 category of the Carlingford 5km held along the shores of the lough and in through the narrow medieval streets of the Cooley village.
