Curley set for marathon effort in Limerick

PAULINE CURLEY has dominated road racing in Leinster all summer and on Sunday she will take her talents to Munster when she lines up for the Irish Examiner Limerick Women’s Mini Marathon.

Race organiser Paddy O’Connell would like to call this a family race and that would suit the Tullamore housewife, who has been competing for Ireland at international level for the past 18 years.

While others became professional runners she continued to hold down jobs and look after the home and she insists that she would not have it any other way.
