Over in Santry, the annual Clonliffe Harriers 5k took place on Sunday 27th Dec. The first 500mtrs and final 300mtrs of this race are run on the track at Morton Stadium. While it was a beautiful morning for running, the start had to be delayed while the track was cleared of ice. Charlotte Stevens (recovering from a recent injury) ran a fine 23.30 to finish 2nd in her age Category. Richard Kavanagh ran 20.32 to finish 2nd 0/60. Well done to our fellow Sli Cualann athlete, Carol Costello (also returning from injury) who ran an impressive 20.12 to win her age category. Paul Stephenson, Rathfarnham AC, was 1st man home in 15.20, while Emma Donlon, MSB, 18.29 was 1st woman home.
