Sterling 5 Km

This BHAA race took place in Ringaskiddy on Wed evening. We had two runners there. John Cashman and Maurice Corcoran Maurice reports 

 "I ran the Sterling 5K last night. Tough race especially run up to the finish. Managed to get a PB. Would have been nice to break 24 mins too but as you can see I literally threw myself over the line . Was few seconds faster on watch alright"

TRAINING

Breffni Three Province Challenge

Our member Tom O'Brien took part in this on Saturday and he reports

Pictures from yesterday Danny. I got a bit carried away with 

my time, I started too quick and then didn’t fancy everyone passing me out again so I just drove on. Hills were like running in Ballynoe but for 21kms. No road closures either so had to navigate a pile of traffic

New York Calling

On Saturday Kathleen Ryan and her brother did a 5 Km in New York with the New York Road Runners Club one of the most famous clubs in USA. In her usual great style Kathleen finish 2nd Lady

KINSALE 5 Mile

Kinsale 5 Mile took place on Friday evening. This is the fastest 5 mile course in Munster and always attracts a great crowd. As always we had a nice crew there with one PB reported so far. Well done Eimear Mullane 

We did have some fine runs there with Ger O'Regan taking 2nd O/50 and Neilus Aherne taking 1st O/70. Thanks to everyone who sent in photos and please keep them coming.

Our ladies Margaret Bernie and loveness keeping up with Kinsales tradition of fine dining. Fish n Chips in the true runner tradition.

Ballynoe 5Km

What a beautiful evening for a race. Ballynoe looked beautiful and the heat had almost disappeared. A local race with a really great atmosphere with a fine crowd mixing and chatting together. We were well represented with three ladies and four men. Our first lady home was Emma Bell who ran a really class race despite not having raced in some time finishing just over 21min. 

Our first man home was Martin Collier who also had a class run coming home in around 18.30 and winning 1st O/45.Others who had very good runs were Christopher McCarthy, Tom O'Brien and Maurice Corcoran and our ladies Ailin Kennedy and Brigid Ryan. Unfortunately individual winners were included in the team make up otherwise we would have been well in contention for the team prize. Either way it was a fantastic evening. We done to St Catherine's AC for organising and to all our runners and supporters.

Hello,

 

I’m reaching out from Amnesty International Ireland as we recruit runners for the Irish Life Dublin Marathon on Sunday, 25 October 2026.

 

We have a limited number of charity places available and would be grateful if you could share the opportunity with members of your running club.

 

Team Amnesty runners will receive:

• A guaranteed Dublin Marathon place
• Fundraising advice, resources and support
• A Team Amnesty running T-shirt
• A Team Amnesty water bottle

 

Charity-place runners commit to a fundraising target, and our team will work closely with them to help them reach it. Runners who already have their own marathon place are also very welcome to join Team Amnesty.

 

There is no administration required from the club. We are simply asking you to share the opportunity with any members who may be interested.

 

To make that easier, you can copy and paste the message below into your club newsletter, WhatsApp group or social channels:
