Youghal Athletic Club Latest News
New Championship Record 🔥
Our very own Ruby Devereaux of Youghal A.C. has rewritten the record books in the U16 Boys 3000m, clocking a blistering 8:53.86 to break the Championship Record, on Day 1 of the Juvenile Track & Field Championships.
Youghal AC would like to say a big thank you to all our participants at the Youghal Bay 10km and ½ Marathon, which took place on the 10th August. Congratulations on your achievement, and we hope to see you all again next year 🏃♀️🏃♂️
We would like to thank all who have completed our post-race survey sent out via email last week, and welcome all feedback received. For those who have not completed their survey and would like to do so, please complete over the coming days for consideration. All constructive reviews are appreciated 😀
Due to a clerical error on the registration platform, participants in the 10km race were given an option for ‘Postage of Number and T-Shirt’ in lieu of ‘Number Only’ at an extra over cost of €1.95 per entrant (even though t-shirts were only part of the ½ marathon entry fee).
As a club, and owing to the difficulty in issuing part refund for postage, we have taken the decision to make a donation to the Stand for Feile foundation, on behalf of all participants affected. We hope you agree that this is a very worthy cause and accept our sincerest apologies for this error and any distress caused as a result. We will post an update in the coming days.
Also, those of you have yet to receive category prizes, they will be sent out in the post in the coming days 😀
