Waterford Half Marathon / Clontarf Half Marathon / Mr Oil Senior Cross Country
Waterford Half Marathon
Hosted each year by Waterford AC the half marathon is a popular staple among local athletes. Only 1 hour down the road to SETU which is race HQ. A really nice course on a cool but not cold day with a bright sky, you would think Christmas is only around the corner.
3 club athletes hit the start line and each race super races on the day earning this years woolley hat.
Congratulations to all 3 of you, nice race to complete just before Christmas.
Jesse Kielthy 1:45:45
Helen Wallace 1:46:37
Marion Galvin 2:21:59
Clontarf Half Marathon
The two Ryan's were on duty today in Clontarf.
Mr Ellard and Mr Midwinter both took on the scenic route around Clontarf on a super morning for running.
Ryan Midwinter was first home in 1:39:20 with Ryan Ellard just behind him in 1:41:24
Great running from both young men.
Mr Oil Senior Cross Country
The battle to be crowned County Senior Champion took place on Sunday in a field just outside the historic village of Ferns hosted by SBR.
Last time this field was used for a county race it was a lot muddier, wetter and also had its own water feature to navigate.
The weather was perfect for cross country nice and bright, cool and soft ground underfoot.
This year we had two ladies representing the club on the course over 5 km.
Catherine O'Connor ran 26.52 to finish in 13th and Helen Sinnott ran 30.14 to finish in 18th. Congratulations to both ladies on their runs.
Thanks to the kind hosts SBR and to the County Board for an excellent event and looking forward to the rescheduled Mr Oil Masters Cross Country in a few weeks.
