UCC Carmel Lynch 10Km
A great crowd turned out as usual for the annual Carmel Lynch Memorial UCC 10KM on Sunday. There was some very fine running on a morning that was ideal for running. Our first man home was Edwin Cashman with a new PB by over two minutes and Sheila Buckley was our first lady with another very strong run. No doubt but we had some prize winners. Sheila Buckley 1st O/35, Mark Walsh 1st O/55, Neilus Aherne 1st O/60 plus Mens Grade B Team Midleton Town Council 2nd Edwin Cashman, Neilus Aherne and Mark Walsh.

ASICS GREATER MANCHESTER MARATHON IN TRAFFORD
APRIL 2ND 2017
A superfast course, great entertainment, outstanding crowd support and glorious finish at Emirates Old Trafford, the home of Lancashire Cricket Club, plus a medal and ASICS technical t-shirt for all finishers!
To give you an idea of how fast this course is, at the recent Aldi Manchester Half Marathon (a similar route) 74% of the top 50 runners got a PB or SB (season best) with 22 runners going under 70mins (only the world half marathon champs got a higher number of Brits running sub 70mins this year). This race is YOUR best chance to get a marathon PB.
