Margaret crosses the line in her 100th parkrun

Margaret marks milestone 100!

Margaret Bennett completed her 100th parkrun at Mountlucas parkrun on Saturday. She crossed the line just after her sister Catherine.

Both Margaret and Catherine are regular runners and volunteers at Mountlucas parkrun. Margaret completed her 100th parkrun in a superb time of 23:30. Margaret is a very strong runner, both in terms of speed and endurance, having completed the Dublin Marathon in October.

She has built Mountlucas parkrun into her health and wellbeing regime and has, in fact, completed all 100 of her parkruns at Mountlucas parkrun. There were almost 60 other runners and walkers on the day of Margaret's 100th parkrun. Congratulations to Margaret on this wonderful milestone.
