Sun, superwomen, and runners in search of sanctuary on marathon weekend

Dublin may have had 30,000 runners pounding its streets in the women’s mini marathon but all attention went Lee-side.

Lizzie Lee, of Leevale Athletics Club in Cork City, won the event in jubilant form in her first ever attempt at it.

For Lizzie, it was part of a bigger picture — the 2016 Olympian is in training for the full marathon at the European Championships in Berlin in August.
