RESULTS of Farranfore Maine Valley Road Race 2011

On St. Stephens Day the 50th Annual Road Race/Fun Run took place in Farranfore. The weather conditions were ideal. It was dry and mild (11deg.C) with a strong breeze. We had a record 240 runners / walkers participating.

Mark Hanrahan (Leevale) was first home with an impressive time of 20:07. He was very close to beating the current record time and may have done so only for the strong wind against the runners for the first half of the race. Their was a fight for second place between Iveraghs Cian Murphy & Aodh O'Neill. Cian came out on top to finish in second place (21:52). Aodh finished 2 seconds later to take third spot. Well done to our very own Arthur Fitzgerald who finished in sixth place.

In the ladies category their was also a very exciting race for first position between Laura Crowe (Riocht) and our very own Maria McCarthy. Maria led for most of the race with Laura on her heels. At the last four hundred meters Laura showed great strength to overtake Maria and finish first with a very good time of 24:45. Maria was second with a time of 25:05. Aishling MacDomhaill finished in third spot at a time of 25:54.

Overall the Farranfore athletes did very well in the prize giving categories.

Maria McCarthy - 1st O35
Aoife Flanagan - 2nd Junior
John Flahive - 1st O45
Mike O'Connor - 1st O60
