This was the 1st in a very popular series of four races organised by the busy Carrick Roadrunners club. The races are held in the counties of Tipperary, Kilkenny and Waterford around the Carrick-on-Suir area where hurling rivalries add to the races' competitive edge! In perfect running conditions Sergiu Ciobanu of Clonliffe Harriers took the men's race in 26:01 from Dwane Farrell (Tinryland) and Shane Mullaney (Thurles Crokes). The ladies' race was won by Pauline Lambe (Tullamore Harriers) in 29:39 with Madeline Loughnane (Thurles Crokes) second and Corinna Walsh (West Waterford) third. With generous prizes for the overall series, runners still have the opportunity to complete the necessary three races.
