Well done to Maurice Walsh, our sole representative at the Waterford Viking 1/2 marathon this morning. The target of 1:30 was set and the hard training was done over the last 12 weeks or so. A few niggles and plenty of kinesiology tape used, but it was all worth it with a 1:27:34 finish .. Dave Fox running alongside brother Ger in the 1/4 marathon had a great run, finishing in a time of 48:33 

One that slipped through the net….. apologies. Donal Sheahan and his faithful friend Cody took part in the Tralee Half marathon on Sunday the 23rd of June. Unfortunately the heat was too much for Cody and he didn’t get to finish but Donal battled through it to finish. Well done.

Emma Landers had a super run on Saturday in the 1500m heats with national champion Sophie O Sullivan in the same race. Avril Millerick raced in the u20 3000m on Sunday running a super race and coming home with silver. Well done girls, we are all very proud of you both.
