Great support for 3k fundraiser

On Tuesday the 17th of December the club held their annual charity 3k fundraiser. This year the club had great support from local runners and neighbouring clubs with 42 athletes taking part. The 6 lap course had a cross country setup and was in good condition with the recent dry weather.

The run started shortly after 7pm with a near 50-50 split of Men and Women crossing the start line. The Hayes duo of Laura and Anne-Marie followed by Joan Hough took first, second and third in the Women’s race. Positions were frequently exchanged in the men’s race from the off with local athlete Stephen Carr coming though strongly in the final lap to take first followed by Michael Byrne in second and John Beecher in third.

Nearly €500 euro was raised for St Vincent de Paul on the night. The club would like to thank everybody who helped out with the event from the people who set up the course and lighting, helped with parking, race registration, the start and finish lines, race results and provided a hot cuppa and biscuits to the runners on the night. We would also like to thank all the supporters and everyone who took part and made the event a success.

The 3k marks the end of the year for the club and we would like to wish all of our athletes, coaches, and friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
