Weekend RACE UPDATES: Dublin Race Series 10 Mile & IMRA Sliabh Bui

We had several runners racing over the hot-weather August weekend, both on the Dublin roads and Wexford mountain trails.

Donna Quinn, Colm Kenna and William Belton competed at Phoenix Park for the Dublin Race Series 10 Mile. Donna finished the race in a time of 1:14.04, placing an impressive 12th out of 339 in her gender/age group. Not far behind, Colm finished the run in 1:24.16, and William followed up in 1:30.15. By all reports it was a hot day on the tarmac!

Meanwhile in Wexford Barry O’Neill ran the IMRA Sliabh Bui Southeast League race. This hilly course was a mix of single track, forest trail and fast fire roads, totalling just over 13km with 360m of climbs. No official results have yet been published, but Barry completed the course in a respectable time of 1:10.04.

MORE RACE UPDATES: Blaney 10 Mile and Malahide Castle 10k

We missed a few results in our round-up from yesterday. We stated (wrongly) that our runners did the South Dublin 10k this weekend but it was in fact the weekend prior. This weekend Donna Quinn was in action in Monaghan running the Blaney 10 mile and finishing 1st F35 in 71 minutes – her third best mark over the distance.

Richard Costelloe bagged himself a second 10k PB within a week at the Malahide Castle 10k, finishing in 14th place and lowering his time by 19 seconds to 41:31.

REPORT: Richard battles at Clontarf

A millennium and some loose change since Brodir ran into Brian Boru’s tent and slew the old king, it was Richard’s time to do the running as he secured himself a 10 mile PB at the Leinster 10 mile championship at Clontarf. Performance wise it was another big step up from his half-marathon in February so Richard seems to be hitting form coming into the summer!
