Cloyne 4km
Eileen Leahy Retains Her Title For The 3rd Time.
Eileen Leahy defended her title to win Cloyne 4K series. This is Eileen's third title in Cloyne having won all series since the beginning. Paul Spiteri came 3rd overall in the series.

There were several PBs with Edwin Cashman well smashing the twenty four minute barrier for the first time and Mark O'Reilly also PBing showing he is well on track for his Manchester Marathon next month. So a great day all round for the club.
The first race of the weekend is the Cork County Road Championships in Castlelyons. We have about twenty runners going there and we would love some supporters. Its on at 10 am so you have plenty time for parades later. Remember if running you MUST wear your club colours.
Then on Sunday we have the very popular Cloyne 4 km where we hope to pick up some more prizes.
The final race of the 2017 series will take place on Sunday next, March 19th at 9.30am.
Tee-shirts for all who will have completed at least 4 out of the five races will be given out after the race. They will not be available before race start.
Harty's bar & restaurant will provide teas, coffee and biscuits after the race and overall series prizes will also be presented at this time
