British & Irish Masters Cross Country Championships

On Saturday 11th November 2016, Maria McCarthy was part of the Irish Masters team who competed in the British & Irish Masters Cross Country Championships held in Tollcross Park, Glasgow, Scotland.

Weather conditions were ideal with temperatures in the double digits, dry and little wind. It was a tough course with plenty of steep climbs and rough terrain along the 2000m course. 
Maria who was part of the O40 team had 3 laps to contend with. From the gun the pace was very intense and it was clear that some of the competitors were feeling the effects of going out too fast. Maria ran a very strong race to be the first Irish to cross the line in her team and helped them to win Bronze for the team. Maria was 5th overall. Another great achievement.
