In June 2024 we completed Irish Mountain Running Association’s Wicklow Round in a relay format.

This event reminded us that when we prioritise equity, inclusion and participation over high performance, cut-offs and rules then athletes can learn within the shared supportive and fun experience.

Together we covered 120k/6,000m of mountainous terrain and 26 peaks, continuously, in 27:59:34.

Our team:

Crew - Aine Quinn, Alicia Christofi-Walshe, Megan McDonnell and Sarah Carroll.

Runners - Julia Cooper, Aoife Reilly, Eimear Deegan, Jane Nolan, Nicola Cleary, Kara Fleishman, Janet Adebola Jones, Patience Dube, Sarah O’Connor, Una Burns, Yuliia Shebek, Laura-Anne Molloy, Caragh Miller, Helen Duffy, Miriam Hogan, Niamh Honer, Alicia Christofi-Walshe, Gladis Vela, Niamh Drea, Farah Masoed, Sarah Flynn, Sarah Carroll and Siara Masoed.
