Hehir Set For Berlin

Kilkishen’s Sean Hehir is putting the finishing touches to his preparations for this weekend’s marathon at the European Championships.

The former Dublin Marathon champion is part of a 42-strong Ireland team at the Championships in Berlin, and is one of five Irishmen who will be competing in the 26-mile race on Sunday morning.

This is Hehir’s second European Championships – he finished in 20th in Zurich four years ago – while he also ran for Ireland in last year’s World Championships.
