The 5K was preceded by the juvenile programme with an array of clubs competing from Meath, Kildare, Down, Armagh, Monaghan, Antrim and throughout Co Louth. A new course this year proved very successful and it was great to see such huge numbers compete. Prizes were awarded for the 1st 10 athletes in each category, the top 10 athletes were awarded points on this basis also which contributes to the overall club prize on the day, The Johnny Mullen Cup.
