Here (at last!) are the Official Race results.

We had an unbelievable 617 finishers on St. Stephen's Day. To put this in context we had 69 finishers at the inaugural race in 2002 and 171, 254, 351 and 470 finishers in subsequent years. We're still very much growing!

Congratulations to each and every participant who picked up a hat and passed under the 800 year old finish line.

Both male and female Team prizes were claimed by our friends in Galway City Harriers, although the men's team result was hotly contested by Mayo AC.

The excel sheet attached at the bottom of this post contains a much cleaner and more complete result listing. It also has information on Top Finishers in each category, Prizewinners, Stalwarts etc. (scroll right down to the bottom)

To reduce the length of this article only the top 100 finishers are listed here. (see attached file for full listing).
