Boston Scientific Half Marathon
Well done to the four club members who ran the Boston Scientific Half Marathon today in Clonmel this morning.

It was a very warm day on an undulating course making the challenge of running 21km a little more difficult.

Congratulations.

parkrun

For the first time in quite a while the 'r' word was used at parkrun, rain. After the formalities were compeleted and the whistle blew light rain began to fall to the delight of some but not all who were running. A welcome natural cooler as everyone made their way around the course but it did not last much longer than 1 lap of the course.

Anthony Dowd was first to complete the Wexford Racecourse Parkrun and was joined by Dave Midwinter, Dermot Foley, Eamonn Foley, Ryan Midwinter, Ryan Ellard, Gareth Lloyd, Conor MacAogain, John Dier, Ollie Stack, Geoff Hoffheinz, Darren O'Grady, Rob Mehigan, Martin Kelly, David Clancy, Helen Burrell, Mary Cronin, Sharron Dier, Michael Murphy & Dave Percival who all finished with a smile.

Brian Smyth ran his event in Fethard Town a day was 3rd to compete the 5k.

Enda O'Sullivan completed the Knockancree Cloughjordan parkrun.
