Tudor Moldovan has won this year's WLR Waterford Viking Marathon.
The Clonliffe Harriers man crossed the line in a time of 2 hours 30 mins and 4 seconds.
Speaking to WLR at the finish line he said he was "Very happy, especially with a tough course like this. The first 25k was very tough with the front wind, but I knew if I was out first nobody would catch me in the second part. I'm not a full-time athlete, I have a job so in this perspective I'm happy that I won the marathon".
Waterford AC's Noel Murphy was second home just over four minutes behind Moldovan with Myles Gibbons in third, 11 minutes adrift of the winner.
Dolores Duffy was the fastest woman home in a time of 3.18.04 wearing the singlet for Watergrass Hill, with Susan Gannon crossing the line 13 minutes later and Olha Pereverzieva third.
The men's half marathon was won by Peter Brandon Somba in a time of 1.10.12. Trevor Power followed him just five minutes later in 1.16.02, while the first hometown runner Raivis Zakis was third for Waterford AC in 1.16.34.
Pauline O Callaghan was the fastest woman in 1.28.40 with Megan McCarthy and Alanna Quinn claiming second and third.
Two locals found themselves in medal territory for the men's quarter. Sergiu Ciobanu was quickest, but just about. He set a time of 34.38 with Ferrybanks Craig O' Brien and Waterford AC's Tony Quinlan coming home in 34.59 and 37.42 respectively.
The quarter marathon was narrowly claimed by Sergiu Ciobanu for Clonliffe Harriers with Ferrybanks Craig O Brien just 21 seconds off his pace.
