Northern Ireland club runner Paddy Hamilton took the honours in this year's tenth annual National Lottery Irish Runner five-mile race.
Annadale Strider's Hamilton finished the Phoenix Park route in a time of 24 minutes 56 seconds. He was followed closely by Clonliffe Harrier's Sergiu Ciobanu (25:04) and Star of the Sea's Mark Hoey (25:07).
There was very little distance between the elite runners along the course as they lead the 6,300 plus field in a tight pack from the outset, but in the final stretch it was Hamilton who used the hill on Kyber Road to his advantage, pulling ahead for the win.
