The 2009 Horwich Carnival Races, near Bolton, welcomed back the British Masters 5km Road Walking Championships on Sunday 21st June for the third year in a row and among the competitors was Sean McMullin, who has competed every year since this event started.

Fabulous weather for spectators but high temperatures made conditions difficult for the competitors, though Sean still turned in an excellent performance to finish 4th overall, and 2nd in his age-category.

Well done to Sean for representing Mullingar so well in England.
