An interesting accomplishment from last Sundays Dublin City Marathon which incorporated the national champ.was that of Noreen Bonner who took her national title and category gold medal with a terrific 3.36 57. The FINN Valley member and secretary had covered the iconic distance 33 yrs ago in 3.06 and on this day was delighted indeed its been a memorable week as she was selected for the forthcoming international masters x country national team just a week previous having raced in Dublin. Highly regarded within the Finn Valley running community she can now focus on that masters international Nov 18th
