AIDAN CALLAGHAN MIGHT’VE won Triathlon Ireland’s Super Series title last year, but he’d never won a 5k event until today.
The Letterkenny native has now, though, following his victory in the St Eunan’s 5k this afternoon in Letterkenny. Callaghan clocked 16 minutes and 28 seconds to come in ahead of Donal Farren and Daniel Hannigan. In all, 172 took part.
