WEEKEND RUNAROUND

BHAA CROSS COUNTRY

A great crowd turned out Sunday morning for the annual BHAA Cross Country in Beaumount. It shows how this section of our sport is gaining in popularity all the time. It was great to see Donie and Kathleen O'Connell return to the cross country scene and also the return of Sheila Buckley to action. The course which is basically three loops of the park contains a short but very steep hill which has to be run up three times.
As usual we had some members in the prizes with Sheila Buckley 1st O/35, Donie O'Connell 1st O/65 and Kathleen O'Connell 1st O/60 and Midleton Town Council Ladies Team were 2nd   in Grade B  Well done all.



















NEW C2 5KM GROUP STARTING

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BETTER VALUE AROUND.

 

Due to  demand we have decided to start a new C2 5K Group. Starting on Wed next 11th Janurary @ 7pm in the Community Centre (formerly the Gael Scoil).

This will be run and organised by our experienced and qualified coaches and is specifically designed for the new runners starting out or those wanting to return to fitness.

More info from mdtacinfo@gmail.com or 0872403940

Most of our former  C2 5K group (they started last Oct) have already entered for the Ballycotton 10 and they will be doing a new and separate programme.

We have over 50 years experience as a club and there is no better way of starting or improving your running than by joining an official Athletics Ireland club. There are lots of other more expensive and private clubs out there  but none with the experience or successful record of Midleton AC.

And we are not in it for the money but for the love of athletics and running.

Please spread the word.
