Munster Road Racing Championships
On a fresh, bright day in Dungarvan a strong field of men and women from across Munster competed for their Clubs on this 4 mile route. Midleton AC was represented by a team of 4 men competing in the masters category. John Hennessy led the team home in a fine time of just under 22 mins. Fine performances were also delivered by Edwin Cashman, Ger O'Regan and Mark Walsh. It was a challenging, but enjoyable course and a great opportunity to turn out in MAC Club colours. Well done to the lads.

Best of luck to all racing this weekend. A weekend in which we are spoiled for choice with races in Cork City, Dungarvan and Killeagh. The BHAA have a new 5Km race at 11am in CIT which takes in the Rebel Run route. It is a pity it clashes with a local race in Killeagh, The Killeagh 4 Mile which is very popular and very well organised and well worth supporting.
It also clashes with the Munster Road Racing Championships which takes place in Dungarvan. We have a Mens Team going there. Remember you must be a registered member to participate here and also have pre entered.
