February '24 Round-Up

Well done to the 52 Youghal AC athletes who made the short journey to Dungarvan for the ever-popular John Treacy 10m road race on Sunday morning. Conditions were pretty much ideal for the race with mild dry weather and there was a total of 2841 finishers.

Massive congratulations to Fearghal Curtin, who made the journey back from Portugal worthwhile with a pillar to post victory, winning the race in a course record 47:42, yes that’s 47 minutes and 42 seconds for 10 miles, for us mere mortals . Well done to Fearghal and best of luck for upcoming races in Ibiza and Germany in the coming months.

Special mention to Sorcha Kilgannon, who was second junior female . Well done to Barry Ring, Peadar Carty, Susan O’ Sullivan, Aidan Buckley and Marta Krakowska wearing the Youghal AC singlet for the first time and to those completing the 10-mile distance for the first time. PB’s for some of our members too - notably David Herlihy taking almost 90 seconds off his time from last year, Ian Murphy defying his aging legs and Anna & Krzysztof Pawlik, both coming back from recent injuries to run great races…
