Killarney Park Run
Margaret Jones did the 5Km Park Run in Killarney on Saturday and considering she is not doing a lot at the moment she did the excellent time of 21.39 and finished 3rd Lady overall and 17th out of over one hundred runners. Then she went off climbing mountains. No stopping her. Well done as always Margaret.
Kinsale 5Mile
Gillian Bransfield ran in the Kinsale 5 Mile on a very hot and muggy evening. She got a PB and as the man said " any day you get a PB is a good day". Well done Gillian.
Conna 5Km
A fine crowd ran in the sixth running of the Conna 5Km on Friday evening. This is a tough and hilly course both up and down but all seemed to have fine runs but it certainly is not a course for PBs. Our first man home was Edwin Cashman and our first lady was Siobhan Murphy. We had one prize winner Joan McCarthy who got 2nd O/60.
It was great to see such support lining the streets from the local community making this a top class event.
Wishing all our runners the very best over the weekend both in Conna and Kinsale and elsewhere. Please keep us posted on your runs. Danny
