WEEKEND RUNAROUND

We Are The Champions (Well Our Ladies Are)

Spectacular results for our club in the East Cork Cross Country Championships in Conna on Sunday.

We saw some fantastic racing and all our runners ran their hearts out.

Our Ladies did amazingly well. Led home by Sinead Falvey who took individual 3rd overall and led home our Ladies Team of Sinead O'Driscoll, Nathalie O'Connell and Eileen Leahy to overall victory in the Ladies Championship race.

 She also led the Ladies O/35 Team  of Sinead O'Driscoll and Nathalie O'Connell to Gold whilst taking individual Gold herself in the Ladies O/35 and Sinead O'Driscoll taking Silver and Nathalie O'Connell taking individual Bronze. Joan Hough took Bronze O45.

A special mention for Nathalie O'Connell who stepped in to make up the Ladies Team and running cross country for the very first time ran a brilliant race to enable the team to take the gold.

Unfortunately we did not have a men's team but Edmond O'Sullivan took bronze O/45 and Rod Scanlan had a mighty run to narrowly miss out on bronze finishing a very close 4th.

A fantastic day for our club and its great to say we did so well.

National Half Marathon in Charleville

Report from Declan Dorgan

A large crowd took part in the Charleville half marathon road race 2024. This was an exceptionally well organised race and racing conditions were ideal!

A large crowd from Midleton took part and there were some phenomenal performances by club members, led home by the very impressive Darren Aherne who finished in 81 minutes. Followed by Ger O'Regan and Derek Aherne both with very impressive 86 min!

Report from Louise Barry

Super day out. Perfect conditions for running -I was very happy with my run, felt good all the way, Siobhan was delighted with her shiny new PB, Bernie and Martha had great runs also. Such a well organised event - from start to finish. The weather even behaved.
