Enniscorthy 10k
Year number 17 of this superbly organised event by Slaney Olympic was on Sunday 18th February. They have had to adapt in recent years to an enforced route change but they managed to keep the spirit of the event alive. The course is a two lap route with a 'gentle' rise on the main road which athletes have to complete twice. As always at a Slaney Olympic event a warm welcome awaited all entrants as the sun shone high and bright after recent very wet runs. 9 of our athletes hit the road to Enniscorthy and its great to see consistent training paying off as everyone ran an excellent race each working to their own best and happy with their times on the day. Congratulations to Marie taking the F70 prize and welcome to Helen our most recent member.

parkrun
What a miserable start to the day on Saturday. Grey skies and lots of water falling, wet underfoot but at least the spirits were high among the people in attendance at Wexford Racecourse Parkrun. Special mention to Rob who decided the best way to celebrate his 50th parkrun was to push his young daughter around the course in her pram !
Brian Smyth, Eamonn Foley, Paula Gondard, Ali Ashgar Khoyee, Geoff Hoffheinz, Fran Power, Gareth Lloyd, Sarah Bermingham, Mary Cronin, Alex Parris, Michael Murphy, Rob Casey, Dermot Foley & Bridie McGuire all completed the 5k event.
