The Dublin Marathon race series came to a close on Saturday with the Half Marathon which had a great turnout from Donore Runners and supporters. On an unseasonably warm day, we had some fantastic performances from all our athletes. Next up for many of these athletes will be the Dublin Marathon on the October Bank Holiday Monday.

Leading the club home was John Dunne putting in another strong performance to finish 11th overall in 1:14:40, Niall Lynch was hot on his heels with 1:14:41 for, Darren Hand 1:16:57. John Dunne and Niall Lynch did well to win their respective categories. First home for the ladies was Lisa Carley in 1:39:39  and Karen Behan in her first half marathon was part of a pack of Donore ladies , finished in a fantastic 1:45:14. Full results below.

Fergal Whitty, took to the roads in Cork the next day in the increasingly popular Charleville Half Marathon and ran extremely well to finish 8th against some very tough competition with a superb 1:13:13
