What a fantastic result for 19-year old Ava Crean from Limerick! Ava won the Charleville Half-Marathon in September with a time of 1:15:22 and is now the first Irish woman home in the 2025 Dublin City Marathon with a time of 2h 34m 12s.

Ava has been on a remarkable journey over the last few years. She only started running in 2020 during the pandemic to get fit and as she noted in a recent interview... " I remember when I started running, I couldn’t even run a hundred meters without stopping or taking a break".

After starting a University course in Manchester in September of 2024, she signed up for the local marathon with an estimated finish time of 3h 30m. The Manchester Marathon duly arrived in April of 2025 and she ran 2h 49m!

Just one week later, she returned to Limerick to run in the home marathon and she improved on her Manchester result with a new PB of 2h 43m 38s. 

After this result, she said in an interview... “After getting 2:49 in Manchester, I said to myself ‘I will do limerick for fun’ and I told everyone that I will do it easy, but inside I knew I would get competitive – but only competitive to beat my old time, I didn’t know at all I would win. It was a bit hard, but I wasn’t in pain or anything, my legs were just very tight when I ran Limerick.”

Fast forward to Dublin and she has now dropped her PB to 2:34 and wins the Irish national title in the process.
