RACE REPORT
Today saw the last in the Run Dublin Run series of 5km and 10km races put together by Born2Run "for the race that's a little bit different", These guys are like a well oiled machine in their putting together and organising their events, with a highly orgasnised team they had the course, tents and registration up in no time.
The beautiful grounds of Malahide Castle and gardens played host to today's races, with the beautiful sunshine, vibrant green trees, lush, freshly cut grass and the hint of dew making it the place to be on a Sunday morning.
The 1st race - 10km got underway at 11am with over 250 lining up, there were targets and challenges and reputations at stake today - being the last for 2018, a few words from the race organisers, another few from "the Boss" and on the beat they were off.......
15mins later with the same drill - the 5k runners were off
This was perfectly timed as both distances were finishing at the same time.
First across the line in the 10km was Raheny Shamrock's Daniel Stauber in a time of 34m 22, followed closely by club mate Graham O'Dwyer with Ger Copeland from Dublin Bay RC hot on their heels to finish in 3rd spot.
In the ladies 10km race it was - again Raheny Shamrocks taking the tittle and winner of all 3 races - Zoe Quinn in a time of 39m 34. In 2nd place was Paulinka Zazulczak with Nuiri Riu Caballal taking 3rd place.
Results for the 5km was Sean Greensit for the men in 21m 56 followed by Geraldine Clement for the ladies in 25m 09.
After crossing the finish line ;each runner was presented with the final piece of their medal collection, you had to run in all 3 races to make this work and it was well worth it..
race number 1 race number 2 race number 3
