Dymphna Ryan Sets New Personal Best at Kilcock 5K

July 01, 2024

KILCOCK 5K

The Kilcock 5k was held on Friday, 28th June in Kilcock, Co Kildare and hosted by St Cocas AC. This is a well-known super-fast 5k course that athletes around the country travel to in the hopes of getting a PB. The race was sold out with 720 registered. Dymphna Ryan made the trip to Kildare and it was well worth it as she set a new PB in a very fast 16:44. She just missed out on a podium position placing 4th Woman and won 1st O40. Great to see Dymphna's strong form paying off with a new PB.
