WOW! Tipperary athlete does the three-peat as Dundrum AC dominate 2 Johnnies Mini Marathon

The 3rd annual 2 Johnnies South Tipperary 8k Women’s Mini Marathon took place on Saturday, September 20 in Cahir at 5pm.

There were just over 400 runners, joggers and walkers attending, with lots of supporters and kids there to meet the 2 Johnnies.

The route had a downhill start at the Garda station, through the town and then a challenging climb out by Munster proteins, it was mainly flat with a bit of an incline up the motorway but then there was a lovely 1k downhill finish to the castle carpark.
