Well done to all who ran the second race in the summer series this year. Results are below.

The first race of our summer series took place this evening in Garryanne, with 25 runners taking part in the 3km event on the out-and-back course.

Rsults are below, well done to all who took part.

National Master Indoor T&F

We had two members who headed to the AIT International Arena, Athlone  for the National Master Indoor T&F. Steve Dunning took home an amazing gold in the Long Jump with Donal Howard getting silver in WFD throwing. It is not all about running and there are opportunities to try different events. If you have interest please reach out and the club will support trying these out.

U20 National Indoor 800m

Senan O’Reilly represented the club at the National U20 & U23 Indoor Championships in Athlone. In an extremely competitive Senan continued his great form with a 2^nd place finish in 1:55:20. A huge result for Senan in this National Championships.

 Caherconlish 10km

We had four members who headed to Limerick recently to take on the Tom Walsh Memorial 10k . An impressive 400+ people turned up with Jim Harty first home in 31^st position in a time of 37:07. Soon after Noel Early completed the 10km in 37:41 with Frances Barry next in 48:03 and John Morrisson in 52:30. Great running from all on a rolling course and great to see members travelling to the race.

IMRA Corrin

Close to home Bill O’ Keffee and Adam Blaiklock took on the IMRA Corrin race. This is over 9km and over 400 meters in elevation where you pass the cross at the top 3 times as you are guided around the paths and newly formed routes through the trees. A hugely challenging race and no doubt the legs were sore for a few days after.

IMRA Glengarra

Jonathan Kenneally and Catherine Clancy headed to Glengarra for this trail race which was just over 7km and just under 200 meters of elevation. Even though this was on Sunday it seemed to miss most of the bad weather and was perfect conditions for running.

BHAA 5km

Mike Byrne travelled to Little Island for this 5km and finished in 17:31. There was no hiding from the wind there as all runners were tested in the tough conditions.

Well done to all who took part in our annual St Vincent de Paul Charity 3km in Conna field tonight.

It was a great turnout of both runners and supporters, and through the generosity of everyone who contributed to the donation bucket tonight, the club raised a whopping €1050 for SVP at this important time of year.  Many thanks to all for your support!

Combined results of the two 3km races are below.

National Uneven Age Cross Country Championship

You would think when we hit December things would start to quieten down but not in athletics. We had a big group of juvenile members who headed to Navan for the National uneven age cross country championships and our athletes put in top class performances as usual. The Under 11s got the races under way and Ailish Bourke (24^th), Ciara O’Connell (45^th), Sophie O’Connor (56^th) and Molly Casey (61^st) made sure the team came home with National team Bronze medal. In a race with close to 200 runners it was great to see each of our members right at the front of the race. All the girls were part of the Cork team that finished 5^th. On to the U11 boys and where Ronan put in the performance of the day with a 2^nd place overall, what an amazing run with almost 180 athletes that is a huge achievement. With Adam Fitzgerald, Alex Keane, Sean Cummins, Cillian Fitzgerald and James Beecher joining Ronan the team managed a 4^th place overall. To put that into context, there were 18 of the best teams from across Ireland at this and this team are now 4^th best in Ireland and there was the smallest of gaps between 3^rd and 4^th. Plenty more to come from this group.

Then on to the Under 15 girls where Aimee continues to impress with 23^rd overall in a field of 165 runners. This place meant Aimee was a scorer on the Cork team that took Gold and was enough to help Munster to Silver. Then in the U17 girls Charlotte Norman was 48^th overall in a race of approx. 120 athletes. This was a high enough position to be a scorer on the Cork team that just missed out on bronze.

Waterford Half Marathon

Well done to Mike Byrne and Roisin Ronayne who both ran PBs, Stephen Collins, Chris O’Connell and Frances Barry who raced the Waterford half in very cold conditions on Saturday morning. Great times posted by all.

Newmarket 5km

Stephen Carr made the trip to Newmarket for the extremely popular 5km and put in a great race to finish bang on 18 minutes. Not long before he will go sub 18.  John Morrisson was as consistent as ever in a geat time of 24:36.

Valencia Marathon

While Aimee was putting in a storming performance in Navan her parents were running the streets of Valencia. Well done to both Shane and Michelle on great times, it was no doubt slightly warmer there.

St Vincents De Paul 3km Charity run

On Tuesday 12^th we will host our annual charity run in Conna Community field from 7pm. This is a fun event and we want to see as many as possible turning up to support St Vincents de Paul charity. Everything raised goes directly to the charity.
