The two had met previously in 2012, when Minnock came out trumps, however on this occasion O&#8217;Hanlon was able to pull away after 10km. The Clonliffe athlete pulled away steadily over the course to achieve a new course record in a time of 1:45:12, with Minnock almost 5 minutes behind in 1:49:54. Liam Feely in 3rd, made good progress over the latter stages of the race to close to within 3 seconds of the 2nd placed finisher.<\/p>\n<p>For the victor, O&#8217;Hanlon, this was his 3rd win at the Athlone 3\/4 Marathon event and on this occasion the new course record was icing on top of the cake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women&#8217;s Winner &#8211; Fiona Stack<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fiona Stack of Shamrock AC proved too strong for her opposition, winning in a decent time of 2:09:15, ahead of Angela McCann from Clonmel AC. McCann had made a race of it, and Stack had judged her race to perfection to claim the top rung on the podium. Teresa Agar of St Abbans ran strongly for 3rd place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Preparation for Dublin Marathon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In common with most of the participants the prize winners were generally using the event as a final long run preparation event for the Dublin or New York marathon events in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Word from race Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Race Director Paul Mahon was pleased with the large attendance and admitted that the weather could not have been better on the day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The scenic location and and luxurious changing facilities at the Glasson Golf Hotel, along with complimentary massage post race were universally well received by all participants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Athlone 3\/4 Marathon Results 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Men<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Bib \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Surname \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Name \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Sex \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Cat \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Club \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Q 1 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Q 2 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Q 3 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Race Time \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Chip Time<br \/>\n1 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0575 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0O&#8217;Hanlon \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Gary \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0M \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0V 40 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Clonliffe \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:35:04 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:34:27 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:35:41 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01:45:12 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01:45:12<br \/>\n2 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0502 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Minnock \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Barry \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0M \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Sen \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Rathfarnham \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:35:07 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:35:43 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:39:03 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01:49:55 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01:49:54<br \/>\n3 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0220 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Feely \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Liam \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0M \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Sen \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0North Leitrim AC \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:36:34 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:36:03 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:37:20 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01:49:57 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01:49:57<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Women<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1 690 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Stack \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Fiona \u00a0\u00a0 F \u00a0\u00a0 Sen \u00a0\u00a0 Raheny Shamrock AC \u00a0\u00a0 0:45:37 \u00a0\u00a0 0:41:12 \u00a0\u00a0 0:42:26 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a02:09:17 \u00a0\u00a0 2:09:15<br \/>\n2 442 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0McCann \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Angela \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0F \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0V 40 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Clonmel AC \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:44:01 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:43:32 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:45:20 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a02:12:57 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a02:12:53<br \/>\n3 799 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Agar \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Teresa \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0F \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Sen \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0St Abbans \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:45:57 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:43:26 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a00:44:41 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a02:14:28 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a02:14:04<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The County Westmeath dished up a successful and inspiring Athlone 3\/4 Marathon on the 5th October 2014.
