Athletics: Robert Heffernan returns to action

World champion Robert Heffernan returns to competitive action at the IAAF Race Walking Challenge in Dudince today. 

This will be Heffernan’s (Togher AC) first race since pulling out of the European Championships last summer and there is expected to be a host of top quality competition in the small spa city in the south of Slovakia.

Heffernan will be looking to first go under the World championships qualifying time (3:55:00), which he should do with ease.
