5th ‘Run for Boylo’ 10k – wins for John and Catherine
Women’s race winners: l-r Sarah Syron 2nd, Catherine Conway 1st, Lucy Brennan 3rd
The 10k prizewinners at Foxford were dominated by Mayo AC who provided the top men and women finishers , and as you can see most of the podium and category positions. This was based on a big turnout from the club with over forty competing in a field of 170. John Byrne (33:47) was the clear winner over two minutes ahead of the field – a minute down on his 2015 second place time last year when he finished behind Matt Bidwell who ran a 31:53 course record. Understandably John has had just two weeks to recover from his marathon PB effort in Rotterdam. Sean Murphy came home third with another great run. Catherine Conway (38:25) was also well ahead of the field winning the women’s race ahead of Sarah Syron (39:43), with a slightly better time than her Kilmovee 10k victory on another reputedly fast course.
Proceeds from the event will be distributed among a number of local charities.
