Provisional results from Snowdon using the timer chip website show Ireland finishing 4th in both the men?s and women?s categories. The men were led home by Eoin McKenna in 5th place in the international race and 9th place overall. This performance has put him well in contention for the trials for the World Trophy teams on August 26th.

Tish McCann was first woman in 10th place in the international field and closely followed by Aoife Joyce and Sarah Moores. Congratulations to everyone especially those making their debuts and also to High Kinsella who ran very well and only had three M40 veterans ahead of him. In all 465 runners completed the course.
