In contrast to some previous years, the weather was stunning for this years John Treacy Dungarvan 10-mile road race with blue skies and sunshine. Almost 3000 runners took to roads for this race in west Waterford, the largest of its kind in Munster.
Despite what the final times might suggest, there was a real tussle in the men's race for first place. From my elevated vantage point, I could see that at about 9.5 miles that both Jake O'Regan and Killian Moon were running together. However as you can see from the photo I took above with about 450m to go, Jake had opened up a commanding lead on the final hill.
In the women's race, Emily Sisson from the US was the clear winner with a time of 53m 22s. Emily has a marathon best time of 2h 18m.
