Purcell Powers To Victory In Lusk

Lusk village went into lock down today to welcome all to a great days racing for both adults and children.

The day started off with a selection of children’s races followed by the 3pm kick off of the now annual four-mile road race.

The Lusk four-mile road race now in its 3rd year has grown from strength to strength and so has the numbers attending.

The tricky two lap course with some added wind gave spectators a great opportunity to cheer on both the local athletes and the visitors.

From a club perspective it was the women taking to the podium on this occasion. Kate Purcell taking first place in the women’s race and Sarah Quigley Followed in third place.

Shane Ryan showed his strength with a fifth place overall and first Junior and hot on his heels was Ciaran McCarthy in sixth place.

A total of 43 Shamrocks toed the line and all helped the club win the mixed team event and a cheque of €300 made out to the Club was presented to our top 4 combined athletes.
