Report - Irish Runner Magazine - Vol 4, No 2, P55

This was the second of a series of 5 10K road races. One hundred and thirty ladies lined up in a cold but sunny day.
The pre-race favourite was Togher’s Valerie O’Mahony, but nursing duties prevented her from competing. With St. Finbarr’s Catherine Hourihan resting, and Leevale’s rising star, Lucy O’Donohue injured the event was wide open.

However, from the gun, Dublin City Harriers, Anne Murphy, took the lead and was never really troubled as she strode around the picturesque Lee Road — Carrigrohane Road circuit ahead of St. Finbarr’s Joan Hough and Jo O’Leary. At the 6K mark a herd of cattle crossed the road ahead of the leading runners but the Dublin girl did not wait for the milking as she neatly side stepped the obstacle and race away a clear winner in 37 mins. 49 secs, from Joan Hugh 39 mins. 33 secs, and Jo O’Leary 39 mins. 40 secs.

The Cricket Club in the Mardyke provided splendid facilities. The third race is scheduled for Sunday 4th March, 1984. The event will also include the adidas Cork County 10K Championships.

Editorial Note: In 6th place, 14 year old Sonia O'Sullivan ran 40:40
