Results
Run in the Dark 11th November
Last night was the annual Run in the Dark run for Mark Pollock in Dublin. We had quite a few athletes take part. The atmosphere is always awesome at this event even though it can get a bit congested along the route, they still thoroughly enjoyed it so well done to: Julie Cole Byrne got a super PB of 49:47 – Well done Julie super speedy 😀 Martin O’Malley – 54:47, Ann Scully – 57:00, Ingrid Shine – 57:03 Well done everyone 😀
Upcoming Events
Wake up & Smell the Roses Remembrance Run – 6th December
On the morning of December 6th at 10.30am, before the Christmas madness really kicks in, we would like to take a little time out to gather as a club to remember our friends Dave and Pete who we lost during the past year and our own personal intentions. We will do a nice chatty ‘smell the roses’ run from The Harbour at the beach house up to the Kilcoole roundabout and back (a favourite route of the lads) followed by a hot chocolate and catch up outside the Happy pear.
Please invite friends, family, kids – this is not a race so go as far as you want – this is just a timeout and a chance to reminisce on good times with good friends.
Thanks Andy and Susan
