Results & Photos of the Karen Fenton 5k road race in Ballinora - Sun 3rd March 2024

First 3 women in the Karen Fenton 5k - 3rd March 2024 - (L-R) Maura Regan 2nd, Lily Manning 1st & Jennifer Ring 3rd

The Karen Fenton Memorial 5k was held last year in late April and this year it was brought forward to the start of March. The 3rd of March seemed to be a really busy day with the BHAA MTU 5k on earlier in the day.

I was half expecting a drop in numbers but as it turned out, that wasn't the case with 402 finishers this year as compared to 395 finishers last year.

Top 3 men & women...
1 3037 Barry Twohig M St Finbarr's AC 16:13
