LEE STRAND Kingdom Come 10mile - Results 2013

On Sunday 21st April, 2013 An Riocht AC hosted their second annual LEE STRAND Kingdom Come 10miler and 5Km fun run in Castleisland. Their was an impressive 750+ runners taking part.
It was held in almost perfect conditions, some rain showers before the start, mild but not too warm, during the race it became sunny but with some cloud. Their was a small blip with precision timing but you can get the 10mile & 5K provisional results here: HERE
Anyone with their time missing should fill in the details requested by precision timing when you select your name.

Congratulations to An Riocht organisers who had the route well marked out and plenty of stewards along the way. The atmosphere at the finish line was simply electric. Having the finish line on the track was a great idea. Plenty of entertainment for the kids and post race refreshments were very good.
