Despite the frosty night large numbers turned out for the annual Medieval Mile to be part of Kilkenny’s Yulefest. The race course from the military barracks to the Parade is now a well recognised course. KCH had in excess of thirty athletes in the competitive section with none more competitive than Cathal O’Reilly who was first across the finish line in 4.30. Not far behind him were James Ledingham (4.33) and Padraig Ruane (4.52) in 4th and 9th places respectively. Clodagh O’Callagan (5.38) was our first female home and she also scored second place in the junior female section. Our first junior male home was Conor Ryan in 5.28 followed by Daire O’Flaherty in 5.53. Many thanks to all who contributed to the event – popupraces for entries and results, the runners, the volunteers, the committee, the sponsors and especially Trust Mtinsi and Jim Langton.
