There was an excellent turnout again for the second race in Mayo AC Summer 5k Series at Castlebar. It was a humid evening at Lough Lannagh, though there was a welcome breeze on the bridge and along the lakeside. The middle section over the hill makes this a tougher course than Ballyhaunis. However,  finish times for many were faster in Castlebar.

Well done to Ann McDonnell and her well organised Fit4Life team, including Dave Huane, John Timothy and others who gave  great  support to participants around the course and at the finish area. It is heartening to see that almost 50% of those who registered for the series so far completed both races. Clear winner for the second week was Conor Dolan of GCH. Well done to all finishers.

Top 3 Men 1 Conor Dolan (GCH) 16:39, 2  Peter Tuohy 17:53, 3 Joe Hastings 17:57 Women (all Mayo AC)1 Pauline Moran 21:10,  2 Margaret Glavey 22:23, 3 Tracy  Durkan 22:25
