Trail Running Information See Below after the photos


Gas Networks Ireland 5Km

Great Running Once Again From Vicki Spiteri 

We had a very large crew from the club at the Gas Networks Ireland 5Km on Wednesday evening far too many for individual mentions. We saw some spectacular running from Vicki Spiteri who got a new and long promised PB of 18.47 she was our first lady home and also took the 1st O/35 prize. She also let the HSE Team to victory (Grade A) Her husband Paul was our first man home with a powerful run putting his new Vaporflys to the test. Most of our other runners seemed to have very fine runs also. . Edmond O'Sullivan was 3rd O/60

A total of 641 finished the race. A free T Shirt certainly seems to bring out the crowds.

As always apologies to those whose photos I missed.



























TRAIL RUNNING

Summer trail running sessions, this week: 
Curragh woods in Midleton

Thursday 6.30 pm; meet at the carpark, see map below, cycling distance from Midleton. 
A classic and challenging trail run through dense woods with some spectacular views.
Trail difficulty: 8/10, trail runners advised 
Hills: 8/10 
Scenery: 9/10
Don’t let the hills put you off. We’ll be running at a slow pace and (usually ðŸ«£) we leave no-one behind. 

NO trail run NEXT WEEK 27 July due to a clash with the Churchtown South race
