THREE Launceston Road Runners, Jon Spettigue, Vin Marshall and Andy Young (not pictured), ran the Airtricity Dublin Marathon on Monday, October 26. The race saw 13,000 runners taking part.

All three had a good run over the one-lap, undulating course — starting and finishing close to the city centre with good running conditions. It was a cool, cloudy day with a strong wind at times.

Andy finished in a time of 3.45.15, Jon’s time of 3.59.05 was a personal best and Vin completed in 4.35.32.

Vin has raised £302 to date for her local charity, Lifton Community Centre.

She said: “I am thrilled to have raised more funds towards the building of the centre and if all goes well the building will start in 2016.”
