Results

Ciara Mageean won the 1500m Senior Women’s race at last year’s GloHealth Senior. The UCD Athletics Club athlete produced a commanding performance to take top spot on the podium in a time of 4:15.35.

Fionnuala Britton of Kilcoole AC finished second in 4:18.33 with Kerry O’Flaherty (Newcastle & District AC) in bronze medal position. The strong field lead to a quick race, with many of these athletes returning for the race this year we are sure to see a close race on the 8th and 9th of August.
