94 Men under 15 minutes at Armagh International 5km

Plenty of triathletes amongst that group too…

The annual Armagh International 5km (www.armagh5k.com) road race is a race we’ve reported on several times here on the pages of TRI247.

Three years ago (HERE), was the venue and race at which Jonathan Brownlee finished third and was just a fraction outside the 14 minute mark (14:00.13), while two years ago (HERE), Adam Bowden ran a swift 14:09.90 to finish inside the top-10. The event continues to attract a great depth of quality runners – including many a top triathlete – with hopes this year that potentially 100 athletes might be able to break 15 minutes for the looped road course.

That didn’t quite happen – but there can’t be too many races around where a 14:59 finish gets you 94th position!

While there were 94 men under 15 minutes, just one broke 14 minutes with Sam Stabler taking the win in 13:59.

We spotted a few familiar names to these pages running well too – with Chris Perham (we think), the first triathlon specialist clocking 14:24 for 24th place.

Several other familiar triathlon / duathlon names under the 15-minute mark too, with Sam Wade also coming close with a 15:05.
