I remember running this race in it's first year and a small crowd of about 80 runners turned out. Since then, it has grown year on year and last Friday, they got a record turnout of 231 runners. Considering that it was only 1 day after Shanagarry which attracted 500 runners then that's a really impressive entry.
The numbers weren't the only records being broken however as there were new course records in the mens and ladies race. George Waugh of Rising Sun AC won the mens race in a time of 33:35 while Carmel Crowley of Bandon AC won the ladies race in 37:42.
The full results are now available HERE (Updated)
I think there was also a race record achieved in the number of people wearing earphones and Headphones (yes the big ones) in this race.I have never seen so many at a race in years and this was a race that was superbly organised on all other aspects.
