Now we continue with our Kerry Women in Sport documentary series produced by Connie Broderick and Joe McGill and narrated by Eamon Hickson. Maureen Harrington ran for Ireland in seven World and seven European Cross-Country Championships between 1993 and 2002.

A magnificent achievement by Maureen and team mates on those teams includes Sonia o Sullivan, Catherina McKiernan, Valeria Vaughan, Una English and Pauline Curley, all legends in ladies athletics.
