Emer Casey 10 Km
Even the weather was on our side today as the rain stopped shortly before the race began enabling people to warm up in comfort before this amazing event. It was great to see so many Midleton AC faces here today including many who never did this race before and I know many came to support club member Vicki Cleary.
Vicki who is sponsored in her position as Gynaecological Liaison Nurse in the CUH by the Emer Casey Foundation made a stunning speech outlining the amazing work she is involved in . I have heard every speech since this race began and Vicki really outlined the importance of supporting this race more than ever.
Most people I spoke to seemed very happy with their runs but there were one or two disappointed but everyone has their bad days. Our first man home having a great run was Emmet Ronan and he was followed by Noel O'Regan and Mike Dolphin. Our first Three ladies were Anna Doris, Margaret Jones and Breda Sheedy. Several people got PBs including Christopher McCarthy who knocked almost a minute off last years time. Our prize winners were
Emmet Ronan 2nd O/40
Noel O'Regan 1st O/45
Anna Doris 1st O/40
Margaret Jones 1st O/45
Vicki Cleary making her speech.
(Note Emmet Ronan photo is missing as he had left before the prize giving)
The race was very well organised and well stewarded and everyone seemed very happy with the new course. My only criticism is that the ladies prizes stopped at 1st O/50 whilst the men's continued until O/65. This in this day and age is very unfair especially considering when this race is in memory of a wonderful young woman and is supported by so many women of all ages. Surely a few of the many spot prizes could have been given as category prizes and equalled out the men and women.

From TRI n RUN
Emer Casey 10K - less than 24hr Ladies and Gents. On the weather front, Sunday will start wet but a clearance to showers will follow, warm bright spells between showers and temperatures a bit cooler than recently. Good day of registrations today, but expecting a super turnout tomorrow. For everyone reading this post and who’s undecided about running tomorrow, when you get up in the morning and youspot showers and decide no, I implore you to think again. Why?
You know where the money is going, it’s not into the black hole of someone’s pension, the monies raised go towards research but even more important the Emer Casey Foundation sponsored the position of Gynaecological Oncology Liaison Nurse in CUH last year. Vicki Cleary, a Midleton gal and member of Midleton AC holds this position and does an amazing job being a support and a wealth of information for women and families of these women diagnosed with cancer.
Pray to God you never need their help, but in the event you do, the support and resource is there. So rain, hail or shine, lace up the shoes, get onto the N25 and come to Youghal tomorrow for the Emer Casey 10K (walk it or run it). Registration 10-1pm, race off @ 1.30pm sharp.
Laura Devereaux (my niece), I’m running this for you!
(Well said as always Steve)
Dunphy On The Run
This is again a busy weekend for our members with Park Runs in Macroom and Clonakilty but the big one in the Emer Casey 10Km in Youghal. This race is really deserving of your support not just that it is a very worthy cause or that the club's own Vicky Cleary is involved in the organisation it is also a brilliantly well organised race.
This year there is also a new course which looks much faster so anyone looking for a new PB should avail of the opportunity.
More details of the foundation are available here http://www.emercaseyfoundation.com/
PLEASE SUPPORT THIS RACE even if you cant run you can walk and even bring the kids.
Also the County Masters Track n Field are on Sunday in CIT.
