Mallow 10 Mile 2019

RACE REPORT

The Mallow 10 Mile hosted by Mallow AC provided participants with another master class event. With over 2,000 runners, it's easy to see why this event is so popular. Weather conditions were ideal for running good times with just a slight breeze and temperatures at 11 degrees. The harsh windy conditions that the country endured in the previous weeks had vanished for this event. The Mallow 10 course is

also a kind course with all left hand turns and relatively flat. Most of the hard work is within the first 2 miles with some slight downward gradients at the right time to push runners home. This makes

fast times a reality and can be seen by the results.

The race attracted some fine athletes along with many who were just looking for a great day out and not worry about running for times or prizes. This mix of runners created a great atmosphere on both the Start and Finish lines.

The winner of the race was Sergiu Ciobanu of Clonliffe Harriers. Sergiu ran a great time of 49:21 and looks in fine form for his planned Rotterdam Marathon in early April. The female winner was the favourite Aoife Cooke of Youghal A.C. Aoife has had some great performances recently and this was no different. Aoife broke the course record proving how well she performed today. Only 2 weeks previous we also witnessed a great performance by Aoife in the Duhallow 10.

Well done to all participants, organisers and volunteers for another fantastic event.

Huge praise must go to Mallow AC for organising a fantastic event. The level of organisation was at it’s highest level making all runners safe and giving them a very enjoyable event.
