Results of the Shanagarry Christmas 5k - Sat 17th Dec 2011

Weather conditions were almost perfect for this Christmas 5k race in Shanagarry in east Cork. The showers had cleared nicely leaving blue skies and winter sunshine for the race. A total of 71 runners took part which was way up on last year when only 27 took part due to all of the snow and ice.
The mens race was won by Sean McGrath of East Cork AC in a time of 15:43, managing to keep a gap of seven seconds on his fellow club member James McCarthy. In the womens race, Niamh Walsh of Leevale AC was the clear winner in a time of 19:29.
