The 2009 Cork Marathon was held in brilliant sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend. A hearty congratulations from all at the Club & the County to the first woman over the line, Sligo AC's Lucy Brennan (pictured with overall winner Michael Herlihy) in a time of two hours, 51 minutes and 25 seconds. “It was great to come here and regain my title for the second year,” she said. “This is marathon number 15 for me. The atmosphere was fantastic and is hard to beat.” (Irish times)
Elsewhere well done also to Sligo AC athletes Emmett Dunleavy and Martin Conroy who recorded times of 9:11 for the steeplechase and 14:50 for 5k respectively. With both of these athletes racing competitively on a frequent basis it is assured that both will achieve numerous "pb's" over the coming season.
