MILLSTREET’S Brian Murphy delivered a compelling performance to land the overall prize in the Monster MAC adventure race hosted in Millstreet Country Park on Saturday.
Conditions were tough over the Boggeragh circuit as the diverse course offered up plenty of challenges for the 250 strong entry drawn from all over the country.
A steep off road 8km run to a high point of 644m above sea level to the peak of Musheramore, followed by a 25km bike trail and engaging in a kayak race in Millstreet Country Park added to a fitting test of survival before Brian emerged to the fore much to the delight of family and supporters.
Participants extended plaudits to the organising committee headed by Marie Griffin from Kilbrin coupled with the favourable weather and the hospitality of Millstreet Country Park added to the outstanding staging.
