Results of Autumn Cross Country & Irish Teams for British & Irish CC


In October every year, the Gerry Farnan Cross Country was held in Dublin and it was one of the biggest events on the Irish cross country calendar. It was renamed the Autumn Open Cross Country last year and this years event was held in the Phoenix Park last Sunday the 18th of October with 133 in the 8k race and 112 in the 5k race.

One of the big attractions for Masters runners (i.e. those aged 35 and over) is that it is used for selection of a team for the British & Irish Cross Country International which is held every year. With all the different age categories, it is an opportunity for many runners to represent their country and wear an Irish singlet.

What is shown below are the names of runners from clubs in Cork and Munster who were in the results. Those from Cork selected for the Irish team are shown in BOLD
