A young man's game

Darragh McElhinney (UCD AC) at the launch of the 2022 Irish Life Health National Indoor Championships. The Championships will take place at the Sport Ireland National Indoor Arena on Saturday and Sunday. 

If there’s a race that could represent the resurgence in Irish middle-distance running, it’s the one that’ll take place in Abbotstown at 12:20pm today – a clash between established senior figures of the sport and a pair of bright, young stars who have already superseded them.

The men’s 3000m will be the one of the first track finals at this weekend’s National Indoor Championships, and likely the best of the lot, featuring two of the most promising distance runners Ireland has ever produced.
