Wexford 4 Mile Road Race / Run in aid of Wexford Women's Refuge

On Sunday, October 27th 2024, athletes gathered from near and far to take part in our 4 Mile Road race. Some were in town for the world renowned Wexford Opera Festival and joined us while here, others more local and members of our neighbouring clubs. Perfect weather conditions for running and route was complimented by all as fair and enjoyable.

On to the business end and our winner this year was DJ Dempsey from United Striders, 2nd Paul Gibbons SBR and 3rd John McGrath United Striders.

Ladies 1st was World Masters Champion Fiona Kehoe Kilmore, 2nd Niamh Murphy and 3rd Ann Marie Doyle Slaney Olympic.

U20 male was Josh Monaghan and lady Aoife Lyng United Striders.

Thank you to our sponsors without whom the event would not have been possible Gallagher Insurance, Ornella Insurance, Dulann, O'Connor Mullen Solicitors & MW Hire.

Our wonderful marshals did a fantastic job between directing traffic, encouraging athletes and feeding everyone afterwards and to Bryan on the motorbike leading the way, thank you and well done.

The Gardai were most helpful with their advice and presence at the Race so thank you and thanks to Wexford Civil Defence for their presence.

Finally thanks to the unseen roles of Race director Brian & Tadhg and the crew setting out and taking down the course cones and signs John, Padraig & Darren.
