WEEKEND RUNAROUND

Sign Up and Spread The Word

As much help as possible is required to advertise this race. Unfortunately there is the  BHAA Stryker  5km Race the night before in Carrigtwohill despite the fact that our race has been held on the first Thursday in May for over forty years.
 These things happen so we will have to push extra hard to get the crowds in this year. So do please tell your friends and fellow runners that the Midleton 5 is the best race in East Cork with a great spread after. 
Also anyone with access to sponsorship etc. please contact Claire Fitzgerald or Maire Walsh Race Director  Danny

Mallow 10 Mile



We had three runners here in Mallow today. The wind was very tough and definitely had a bearing on peoples times. The new course/route seemed to work very well. Margaret Jones was once again amongst the prize winners taking 3rd 0/55 Bernie Twomey and Amanda Cooney also had good runs.





Barcelona Marathon

Great Running From Nicole Versluijs In Barcelona

Nicole writes 

"I wanted to say thanks to you and the coaches at Midleton AC. I did Barcelona marathon last weekend and I was really happy with it. I have improved a lot since I’ve been training with ye. My average pace for Brussels marathon in November was 6:39 /km and for Barcelona last weekend was 6:09 /km"

Well done Nicole we are super proud of your achievements as you yourself should be a massive improvement 





Fota 5Km Cheetah Run

Posting this especially for our newer members just to let them know that this one usually sells out reasonably fast.

WEEKEND RUNAROUND

No Training Monday Evening 

As It's A Bank Holiday

Club AGM

The full club AGM takes place next Wednesday evening at 8pm in MyPlace. We are asking as many as possible to attend and don't worry you will not get a job unless you want one. 


Mullingar Half Marathon


Mark Cronin had another great run in the Mullingar Half Marathon on St Patricks Day morning (wht else would you be doing ?) where he clocked 1.24.59 showing his training for Cork is definately going to plan. Since Mark started wearing his Midleton AC singlet his times have improved in almost every race. ("I wont say I told you they would 😂") Well done Mark on another fine one.

Cloyne 4Km Series

Sinead Falvey wins the overall series

Tim Hannon 2nd in the overall series.

Sunday morning saw the last in the current Cloyne 4Km Series and we saw some great racing. We had club members Sinead Falvey 1st Lady overall and Katie Hennessy 2nd Lady overall and Tim Hannon having a powerful run to finish 2nd Male overall. We also saw some excellent running from Rod Scanlan normally a track man these day but taking to the roads today and getting a PB. 

Well done to all who ran and to the organisers for such a great community event.
