WEEKEND RUNAROUND

NATIONAL MASTERS XC CHAMPIONSHIPS in Abbotstown, Dublin 15 February 2026

Andre Brodkorb was the only Midleton AC runner this year. The weather was kind despite weather warnings elsewhere in the country.

Over 200 Master men between 35 and 64 years old from the whole island of Ireland ran six by 1,000m laps. The course was shortened due to a waterlogged extended course. Laps were tight and busy, and the ground was heavy with ankle-deep mud in most corners. Despite all this it was the great finish of a good Cross Country season.

Eagle Carrigaline 5

Results from Carrigaline 5 Mile have  Ger O'Regan 1st O/55 and Feargal O'Meara 3rd O/55. Conor Cronin also had a fine run and our ladies Gillian Bransfield and Amanda Cooney both had good runs.

Tralee 10 Mile

Frances Maunsell had a very good run in Tralee 10 Mile on Saturday to finish 3rd O/50

Cloyne 4Km

A great crowd of our club runners were in Cloyne on Sunday morning. Our first runner home was Fionn Buckley MJ in a time of 13.30 finishing 2nd overall. Our first senior was once again Mark Cronin finishing in 14.59 whilst our first lady was Sadhbh Cronin FJ in 15.32 and our first senior lady was Eileen Leahy 17.37.
