Provisional results below with 9 members breaking the 3 hour barrier. Report by Ruairi Egan.

The Dublin City Marathon took place yesterday in good conditions and as usual Eagle was well represented with 34 finishers. We are hearing of several members recording big PB times, well done to all. Some of the results are a bit sketchy at the moment, I have added in a couple of people who are currently missing from the official lists and there may be more not spotted yet.

Hitting the headlines again is Alan O’Brien, a stunning 21st place out of the 16,000 competitors. Elite running from Alan, 4th placed M35 as well. Next in was Viv Foley, with a fantastic 2nd place in the M45 category. Big runs from Derek O’Keefe, Pat O’Connor and Ruairi O’Callaghan, all in under 2:50. Frank Hill came 4th M50. Shout out as well for Mike Forde & Dermot Slyne, first time under 3 hours for the two lads.

2:29 finish for Alan O’Brien

Elaine led home the Eagle women, closely followed by Karen Bevan. Well done to the gang who have trained together over the last few months and came home with impressive times and several PB’s. Special mention to Denise O’Brien for completing her first marathon, congratulations Denise.
