The third race of the Clare series took place yesterday morning in Ennis and there was a huge turnout of over 800 runners out to support this hugely popular event.
Weather conditions were ideal on the day with lots of sunshine and a mild breeze for the runners.
The overall race honours were taken by Sean Doyle of North Cork winning the race in 31.09 and Grace lynch of Iveragh A.C was the first women home in 35.22.
We had a number of our west limerick athletes travel to Ennis to take part and all performed very well. Michael guiney continued to give another fine performance completing the 10k course in 42.11. Also running on the day were Con Mulcahy, Mary Folan-Ryan,Ide Curtin and Corina Sheedy.
