WEEKELY RUNAROUND

Rosie Wins Her First Race

Shannon Ballroom 5Km Causeway

Huge congratulations to Rosie Young who won her first race ever on her home turf of Causeway, Co Kerry this morning. I have no doubt it will be the first of many. Well done Rosie we are all proud of you.

Berlin Marathon Calling

Tony Murray ventured to Berlin once again only this time he was carrying an injury but decided to give it a go anyway. The heat there was seemingly unbelievable reaching almost 30 degrees which made it very hard going even for spectators as Sharon his No 2 supporter says. He finished in 4.15.30 which considering everything is a fine time.

On Saturday Tony ran a 5km with his No1 supporter Brian his son who was making his international debut. Well done Brian you did us proud.

LADIES MINI MARATHON 

Sunday noon saw the Ladies Mini Marathon take place with a huge crowd of over 5,000 taking part. The vast majority were walkers but we saw some great running as well with Niamh Allen who won the Midleton 5 being an easy winner here also. We had a nice number of runners taking part and all had fine runs. Dee Duran was our first lady home with a very fine run.

The race was well organised but there was not a large number of club runners running. It's not the easiest race for runners with so many walking. Well done to Nathalie O'Connell who organised the Women In Sport Midleton AC group. Apologies to all those whose photos I missed.

TRAINING

Training continues as usual on Monday with a hill session and the Cricket Field is also available for those wanting to do their own sessions.

Wednesday sessions continue with Edmond at 6.30 outside the Co Op Market Green. There was a great crowd there last Wednesday. All levels catered for and all welcome.

C2 5K also continues Wednesday suitable for beginners or those returning to running.
