Club Weekly Notes October 2017

Taking a break from the Cross Country Championships, as all eyes were on the National Dublin City Marathon which was held on Sunday 29th October. Grainne Tierney, who has been competing over the last month in cross country took on the marathon distance for her very first time. Grainne did fantastically in completing the 42.2Km in 3hrs 59mins. A great achievement.

Further afield, Cathal Kirwan took part in the Ypsonas 5K in Limassol, Cyprus. It was a hot run but Cathal finished 6th overall and first in his age category in a new personal best time of 19mins. Well done.
