The annual "Murphy's Ice Cream" race A.K.A "Dawn Lite Milk Killarney Women's Mini Marathon" is a 10K event on the roads of Killarney town and National Park. With warm weather on Saturday, 14 September it was clear that this would be a RACE - who would be first to the finish line to get full choice of ice cream flavours before they started melting down and who would have to drown their sorrows in pints of Dawn Milk.
There were over 600 women taking part (most of them females....!) with support acts from a few brave men running for Pieta House charity and fulfilling the role of pacers.
In this very well organised fundraising event, the honours of picking all the ice cream flavours went to An Riocht trio of Niamh O'Sullivan (37:11), Siobhan Daly (40:53) and Mary O'Connor (41:38).
Leading St.Brendan's AC "Women Elite Pro Performance Team" was Ann McGlynn, followed by Mags Hussey, Eileen Leen, Joan Reil Burke, Catherine Burke, Norma Shanahan, Noreen Leen and Chris O'Shea. All participants received a lovely medal and nice tech t-shirt, not to mention large helpings of frozen delight as in picture below.
Well done to all St.Brendan's AC ladies taking part in this great event.
