Athletics: Maycock heads English challenge at Loughrea

John Mayock heads the English challenge in Sunday’s BUPA Ireland run.

Sonia O’Sullivan and Paula Radcliffe are not competing.

O’Sullivan is currently in Australia where she is expecting her second child in December.

Radcliffe, this year’s World Cross Country and Half Marathon champion, is taking a well-earned break.

The five-mile race in Loughrea will see Ireland play host to opposition from England, Scotland and Wales with France and Italy also competing.
