Club Weekly Notes Week end 23rd Sept 2018


Good weather conditions for the Charleville Half Marathon on Sunday 23rd Sept. This is a very popular event which attracts many top athletes from around the country. John Travers (Donore Harriers) was the overall winner in a time of just over 64mis. Dermot Dineen, competing in his third half marathon of the season, finished is a time of 81mins. Well done.

We had the final Sunday of our Juvenile training on trails. All twenty seven worked really hard negotiating the wood trails and undulating hills. They are now very well prepared for the county cross country championships. First race is on Sunday 30th Sept. in the Demesne Killarney (next to playground) with even ages. We ask all juveniles to be there for 11am to register and warm-up. First juvenile race will be U10 Girls, then followed by U10 Boys, U12,.
