Hiko Tonosa was joined by fellow DSD athlete Paul O’Donnell and Ryan Creech (Leevale AC) in the lead elite group. Tonosa, who confirmed his participation late, sat at the back of the elite leading group taking shelter from the damp conditions and came through the halfway mark in 64 minutes. Advertisement With just over ten kilometres left to run David McGlynn moved up to eighth overall, coming through 30 kilometres in one hour, 32 minutes. The 26-year-old made his marathon debut in Dublin last year clocking 2:15.26 on that occasion. Tonosa, who was unable to finish the marathon event in last month’s World Championships in Tokyo in tough conditions, stepped aside in Dublin before the 35km mark. David McGlynn took the national title and crossed the line in sixth position overall in a five-minute personal best.
