Fiachra's dedication and hard work reaping rewards for him, keep up the good work.
Tony MacGowan 10k.
Helen Burrell was running in County Leitrim over the weekend in the Tony MacGowan 10k. Helen had a great run of 1:11:00 and was the first woman in her age category on the day. Congratulations Helen.
Enniscorthy 10k
Sun, rain, cold and wind at different stages of todays 10k kept athletes guessing as to what to wear. The race started cool and bright but changed to windy and rain adding to the challenge of running 10k.
A healthy number of club members took the short drive up to Enniscorthy to support Slaney Olympic Athletic Club with their annual 10k event.
As always a well organised event from start to finish. Well done to all who ran and thanks to our supporters who stood in the rain to cheer everybody on.
