TRAINING
Following on from the huge crowd we had last week training will be as usual on Monday evening at 6.30 in the Cricket Field with all levels being catered for. The usual trainers will be there Edmond, Noel, John and Danny.
The grass has been cut and will be cut every two weeks or less if required so here is an opportunity to improve if you want to avail of it.
There is no better place to do speed work than on grass at this time of year.

Forty Days On Foot
Below is a letter The Club Received
Hi Midleton AC,
40 Days on Foot came about after a close friend of
mine who has dealt with mental health issues for a long time came very close to
taking her own life last year.
Thankfully she made it through a very tough time in
her life but she spoke very highly of the help she received from Pieta House
when she was in her darkest moments.
This inspired me to organise a fund raiser for
Pieta House as my own way of showing my appreciation of the amazing service
they offer.
I've always been quite a fit person but started endurance
running about a 12 months ago and since then it has completely taken over my
life!
I decided the best way to raise money for Pieta House was to run multiple marathons around the country so I could also spread the word of pieta House and raise awareness of the mental health issues that the everyday person can struggle with.
I decided the best way to raise money for Pieta House was to run multiple marathons around the country so I could also spread the word of pieta House and raise awareness of the mental health issues that the everyday person can struggle with.
Myself and Sean have been organising the run for
the past 6 months to the best of our ability but as we are just 2 people
Organising a large scale event between full time work and training we
unfortunately lack a few resources which has lead to us wanting to try to rely
on the help of Athletics Clubs and the Irish public in supporting us on our
journey around the country.
Hopefully the country will really get behind us and
support the run and in doing so support Pieta House.
Any help and advice is greatly appreciated :)
Kind Regards,
Callum Jacobs
PS Myself and Callum Will be in CastleMartyr on the 1st of August and
we're just looking for someone to put the 2 of us up for a night on that date.
We'll probably be arriving in Castlemartyr at around 2pm on the 1st
and be leaving the next day at 10am.
If you need any more info feel free to contact me on either 0861526885
or 0851453439.
