The Ladies race was won by Martina Kiely from Elaine Guinnane and Rebecca McEvoy.

"There was a problem with some of the times on the night. If any runner can help fill in the gaps we would be very grateful. Finally thank you to all who gave very generously on the night.
All entries and donations will go to the Enable Ireland.....Thanks...John O'Riordan...Rising Sun AC"
