WEEKEND RUNAROUND
Ballymacarbry 5 Mile
(Thanks to Regina for the photo)
Big congrats to Michael Abernethy who ran the Ballymacarbry 5mile on Friday evening where he got a PB with a time of 31.35. This fine running on this course which is "out and back" but a turn off on the way back brings you uphill on some rough terrain (not road). The race is part of the West Waterford Series.
Free Entry For Club Members
The Irish Life Health National Senior Track & Field Championships are being held in Morton Stadium, Santry on the 28th & 29thof July.
Athletics Ireland are inviting club members to the Championships on Sunday the 29th of July Free of Charge.
The Track and Field competition starts at 14:40 and we would love to see a crowd from your club there to support our established international athletes, rising stars and the country’s best club athletes compete for medals, PB’s and national titles.

In a new initiative Juvenile athletes (U12 and U14) will be given the opportunity to race on the very same track as their heroes’ in a 4x100m club mixed relay event.
Children can also avail of face painting, Irish Life Health Goodie bags and meet the Stars of Irish Athletics throughout the day. The event will go Live on RTÉ from 17:30.

If you could email me your postal address, the number of members from your club that would like to attend, and the number of teams you would like to enter for the juvenile relays, I will post out your complimentary tickets for the event!
This is a day not to be missed!
Dell EMC 4Mile
There were almost three hundred runners in Ovens on Thursday evening. From what I saw we had one runner Sheila Buckley who came 3rd O/35.
UPCOMING RACES
Keep this one in mind Ladies 16th Sept (pre entry required). It would be great to see a mass of Midleton AC colours out there. We always get a nice crew but could always do with many more. Its for a great cause and deserves support.
