Congratulations to all who participated. This race was held in memory of two extraordinary men who served as Dunleer AC committee members, and who supported athletics, all of their lives; Seán Carrie (RIP) and Ollie Brennan (RIP). Dunleer AC was very proud to dedicate these two races, senior men and senior ladies, to these two great men. Many thanks to their families; to their respective wives Marie Carrie and Marie Brennan, and to their children for their support and for allowing the Club to dedicate the inaugural 4 Mile Road Races to Seán and Ollie. Many thanks to all of of our sponsors and to the people of Dunleer for accommodating the race. Thanks to all of our stewards, helpers and supporters, and many thanks to Bernadette Mc Guill for helping Tom Neary start the race.
