Collette O'Hagan from Dundalk to run her 200th Marathon in Dublin...

This morning, I heard the tail end of a clip on Morning Ireland  on Radio 1 about someone running a Marathon. After doing a bit of digging this evening, it turned out to be an intereview with a Collette O'Hagan from Dundalk who is getting ready to complete her 200th Marathon in the Dublin Marathon at the end of October.

The Irish Times also had the following info...
A DUNDALK runner is aiming to take the record for the most marathons completed by an Irish woman at the Dublin City Marathon this year, her 200th marathon event.


Collette O’Hagan, a 61-year-old foster mother, is looking for 200 people to walk or run with her on the day in aid of the Aurelia Trust, an Irish charity that helps children in Romanian orphanages.


Ms O’Hagan, who started running in 1990, has completed marathons in Beijing, Boston, Barbados and Belfast. This year she’s calling on 200 people to each raise €200 to join Team Collette on October 25th. 

A spokeswoman for Dublin City Marathon said: “Collette ran her 100th marathon in Dublin on the weekend her mother passed away . . . She’s an amazing woman.”

The clip on Morning Ireland can be heard if you REAL PLAYER software installed.
