About 130 runners took part in the first edition of this race with all proceeds going to the national rehabilitation hospital. Paul Spitere came home in 3rd position leading home a good representation from the club.There were 50 walkers also. ( Thanks to Kathleen O'Connell for the report and photo).

There would have been lots of cat. prizes for our members who supported it in great numbers and  had fine runs but there were no cat. prizes probably down to it being the first running of the event, Here's hoping it will become an annual event,

Friday Night

Just watch yourselves and be careful at this one because if you read the small print you will see that dogs, buggies kids etc are allowed. Its a great cause but be sure and avoid getting injured. Danny

Cloyne 4Km

We had a fine crowd out from the club on Sunday morning supporting this local race in aid of a very worthy cause. Marian Aherne recovered from her excellent Cork Marathon exploits finished 3rd lady.

Picture shows Margaret Barry with her grandson Adam Perry. Another unique occasion where mother,daughter and grandson ran in the same race. Despite running a fine race rumour has it that Adam is much faster on the fingerboard of his guitar than on the road.



Some Went East And Some Went West and Midleton AC won prizes everywhere they went.

So many races to choose from we had people in various places. In the BHAA EMC race in oven we had three ladies who all did brilliant. Sheila Buckley 2nd Lady overall, Louise Barry 2nd O/35 and Marie Gillman 2nd O/50. Midleton Town Council Team were 1st Team Grade A ( Sheila and Louise). Well done ladies these are some fantastic results. (Thanks Louise Barry for the report)

Blackwater Aquathlon

 

 

 

On a glorious Wednesday evening 87 athletes participated in the annual Blackwater Aquathlon in Fermoy, organised by the Blackwater Triathlon Club: 750m swim up and down the Blackwater river followed by a 6km run.

Ger McLean  kept his feet dry, run a fast time and together with his swimming partner James McMurty had a good relay result. André Brodkorb, Sally Drennan and Susan Fitzgerald were happy with their swim and run but noticed that … it doesn’t get easier... However, we can only recommend this well organized event and it was a welcome change from the road races.

Results are here:
