Laois and Offaly locked out the men's podium for this year's Leinster Half-Marathon.

Over 1,100 runners took to the line on Offaly for the Tullamore Half-Marathon on Saturday.

The race, which doubled up as the Leinster half-marathon championships, was run in warm conditions over a fair but undulating course around Tullamore, Mucklagh, Killurin, and Cloonagh.

The men's senior race was dominated by midlands clubs, with Ballyfin AC's Colin Maher winning in a time of 1:09:04.

Paul Mitchell of the Tullamore Harriers secured second for the home-club in 1:11:05, and Ferbane's Mick Fogarty finishing third in 1:11:16.

The women's race was taken in a time of 1:20:40 by Ciara Wilson for Wexford club DMP AC, Sally Forristal from St Joseph's of Kilkenny was second in 1:22:18, and Emma Furey for St Laurence O'Toole's finished third in a time of 1:24:50.

Edenderry's Caroline Donnellan (1:26:21) was just off the podium in fourth, and the winner of the F40 age category, where Sarah Flanagan (1:27:07) of the Tullamore Harriers was second, and Athlone AC's Theresa Hughes was third (1:27:43).
