Thousands of women from around the country and the world gathered at Fitzwilliam Square in Dublin this afternoon for the annual Flora Mini-Marathon.
Annette Kealy from Howth in Co Dublin won this year's race when she crossed the finish line at St Stephen's Green in a time of 35 minutes and 45 seconds.
It is an extra special day for the mother-of-four from the Raheny-Shamrock running club as she is celebrating her 40th birthday.
The Cork City Marathon also took place this morning. It began at 9am and Patrick's Street was closed until 7pm to facilitate the start and finish of the race.
