THE INAUGURAL Ennis Duathlon was held on Sunday in Lees Road. The course started with a 3k trail run through the adjacent forest followed by a 14k cycle in windy conditions and finished with another run through the forest.
The short course meant a fast race and the first run was finished in under nine minutes by Mike Yelverton quickly followed by Con Doherty and Ennis Tri Club’s own Patrick Quinn. The first three females home were Derval Devaney, Andree Walkin and Maebh Hurst (below).
