John Buckley 5Km

The John Buckley 5Km took place Tuesday evening on the Marina circuit. Whilst many are preparing for the Cork Marathon, Half Marathon and Relays next Sunday there was a huge turnout of runners with a total of nine hundred and eighteen in all. There was a fine representation from Midleton AC there. Shane Fitzgerald Foley came home in a time of 18.01 making one  realize how important seconds are in running. Our  prize winners of the night were Marie Gillman who took 1st O/50 and our coach Edmond O'Sullivan who excels at these shorter distances where he took the highly competitive 1st O/55. A big congrats also to Ger O'Regan who got a PB of 19.15.
Special mention must go to Kelly Hurton from our C2 5K group who did her first race having been unable to make Ballintotis. when the rest made their debuts.
