Mark Smith, Eagle AC,  top of the podium!

Sean O’Keeffe  finished 4th with a time of 1.20.30. Impressive times from Mark and Sean on what was a very hilly course. Tom Fox was 2nd M50 across the line.  A number of club members were on pacing duty at the event  also – well done to Dermot Slyne, Ruairi Egan, Elaine Guinane, Helen Cronin , Mairead Lonergan, Ed Fitzgerald and Grellan McGrath.  Thanks to Conn O Donovan who organised and looked after the pacers on the day. All proceeds from this  event went to Marymount Hospice, a very worthy cause.
