Kilkerley man Gary O’Hanlon was the sixth place finisher overall in yesterday’s Dublin Marathon.

Gary, who runs with the Clonliffe Harriers club in Dublin, finished in a time of 02:23:54, less than five minutes behind winner Sean Hehir, who finished in 02:18:19.

O’Hanlon’s performance was also enough to see him claim the men’s over 35 category.

A large number of other local runners also competed the racing including Gerard Fay of North East Runners, who completed his 100th marathon and Gerry O’Connell from the same club, who was the 100th finisher in a time of 02:48:57, which was enough for third place in the mens over 50 category. Well done to all.
