May Bank Holiday Weekend Athletic Results

Carer's Association 10k
The Carer's Association 10k was held in wet and windy conditions on Monday 4th May. Mayor Cllr Veronica Cawley got the race underway shortly after 3pm from outside the Radisson Hotel and soon a breakaway group of John Byrne (Mayo A.C), Richard Gorman, Neil Walton and Ultan McNasser (all Sligo A.C) moved ahead of the remaining runners. A stiff headwind on the outward section towards Rosses Point made running conditions slightly more difficult but this was redressed by the favourable tailwind on the return leg. At the 5k mark, John Byrne Moved ahead of his pursuers and kept this position to win the race with a comfortbale margin. Richard Gorman took second place whilst Neil Walton claimed third.
