Togher 5Km

Sunday morning was a beautiful morning for running the Togher 5Km and made a big change from the rain of last year. We had a number of runners there. Paul Spitiri was our first man home and Martha McNamara our first lady. We had a number of juveniles there also. It was great to see Mike Dorney making his return, It was as usual very well organised.



The two Johns. The amount that these two gentlemen have done to to promote and foster athletics in East Cork, Cork and Ireland is amazing. Long may they continue 





















Farenfore 4 Mile

This is one of the longest running and most famous races in the country and today we saw club member Rosie Young get a PB there. Its a tough hilly course and a hard one to get a PB on. Well done Rosie what a great way to end the year.



 Clonmel 4Mile




Eimear O'Mullane took part in this on St Stephens Day and had another fine run. There was a total of 581 finishers. 

The Ladies race was won by Emily Sisson in 20.31 who finished 3rd overall in a new course record. She is the USA Marathon Record holder. What a race to be part of. Well done Eimear.
