Kate Purcell ran a very strong race to win the national half-marathon championship in Fairyhouse racecourse on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Purcell came home in 78:00 with a very strong final two miles for gold, some three minutes clear of silver medallist Sarah Baryga.<\/p>\n

Purcell was followed home by Orla Manley (93:14) and Elaine O’Hagan McNulty (94:50). Unofficially this looks like a gold medal performance as we await AI confirmation.<\/p>\n

Also running were Lorraine Byrne 98:32, Trish Fitzgearld 1:41.42 (O\/55 bronze), Angela Charlton 1:41.06, Karen Slye 1:42.44, Niamh O’Malley 1:43.24 and Fiona Kirwan 1:47.07.<\/p>\n

Also awaiting confirmation is a silver medal for the women’s o\/50 team of Lorraine Byrne, Trish Fitzgearld and Angela Charlton.<\/p>\n
