Limerick's Mary Cronin, 72, laces up for 10k road race

“Road running is my thing,” said Mary Cronin yesterday as she packed her bags for a 10km European Road Masters Championship in Portugal.

Mary is 72 and one of Limerick’s role models for older people.

The Croom woman chairs the Limerick Older People’s Council which seeks to empower older people to what they can do rather than allow them regret what they no longer can do.
