CHALLENGING conditions affected road runners during the latest highly successful 10K road race around New Mills and Rockhill in Letterkenny.
The event, which is hosted by Letterkenny Athletic Club, was staged on Sunday past.
Participants endured strong winds, according to the club, but the club revealed that did not “stop some fantastic performances across the course”.
Among those photographed at the New Mills 5K were Margaret Shield, Dearbhla Walsh, Mary Doherty and Niamh Brogan.
Legendary local runner Danny Mc Daid, who captained the Irish Senior Cross Country team from 1975 to 1981, was there to wish good luck to them and others like Glenswilly GAA stalwart Joe Gibbons.
A spokesperson for Letterkenny Athletic Club said: “Congratulations to everyone who took part. Well done to everyone who crossed the finish line, whether you were chasing a personal best or simply enjoying the challenge.
“Your efforts in those very windy conditions were truly impressive. A huge thank you as well to the organisers, volunteers, and supporters who helped make the event such a success.”
