CROSS COUNTRY UPDATES

As the summer draws to a close, the cross country season is rapidly approaching.  As usual, we are encouraging as many members as possible to run cross country.  It is not just for the elite or experienced runners.  Everyone is able to give it a go.  

Below is a comprehensive list of the season's events. Don't let this list put you off!  For those of you who are new to cross country running, the races to target particularly would be the East Cork championships on 18 September and the County Novice on 2 October.

 

We would love to continue to build on the club's successes at cross country in recent years.

Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the above.

Best regards,
Sally Drennan

Message from Siobhan Murphy who is running the Cork Mini Marathon and seeks sponsorship.

 

I'm running the evening echo mini marathon for a good friend of mine who has a degenerative eye condition. She's actually legally blind now & has gained huge support from her chosen charity Fighting Blindness. I'll bring along my sponsorship card tonight to training. Any donation is welcome, I know how many deserving charities there are out there so it's not easy on people. Many thanks, Siobhan

WEEKEND RUNAROUND UPDATES

Couch to 5km


Coming at the end of September will be a new programme from the club where we will introduce a Couch to 5Km programme. This will be presented by our group of experienced qualified coaches. Designed to help you at whatever level you want to start with.
Last year 95% of our beginner group did a 5Km by Xmas and 80% did the Ballycotton 10.
 Just showing that fifty years of experience helps. Midleton AC 1966--2016.
 Also ALL our members are insured with AAI whilst at training.

You don't drive without insurance so why run without insurance.

New members at whatever level welcome anytime.
