Irish results from the European 24 hour championships in France



The European 24 hour championships were held in Albi in France last weekend on Sat 22nd and Sun 23rd Oct 2016. While there was just one woman on the Irish team, there was 5 in the men's event.

Amy Masner finished in 17th out of 77 contestants with just over 133 miles completed.

In the men's 24 hour race, Eddie Gallen was the best of the Irish with about 144 miles covered. Aidan Hogan of Rising Sun AC in Cork was just behind Eddie with 138 miles which is pretty amazing considering it was just his second 24 hour race ever. His first one was last June in Belfast when he took Silver in the Irish 24 hour championships.

Small correction, there were 77 women in the field, not 40, which makes Amy's top-20 result all the more impressive,
