PJ McCarthy has been prominent competing in the Tralee half marathon, Omagh half marathon and the Hamburg full marathon where he ran a personal best time of 3 hours 21 minutes.
Other members have been busy too. Joanne Heffernan was our only member to brave the Suirvivor Mud run on the 20th April last and although she is still washing the mud out, she has recommended this event and suggests we should get a team together for the next one.
Claire Fowler ran another great half marathon in Wexford on the 21st April last and also took part in the Stoneyford half earlier in the year (and probably a few more which I have forgotten).
Darren Crowley is busy training for the Edinburgh Marathon on the 26th May next and we wish him the best of luck with it.
SUMMER ROAD RUNNING
The road running summer series is well under way now. A number of our members took part in the Butlerstown 10k on the 19th April and a larger number ran in the Tramore 4 on the 26th April and all seemed happy with their efforts. We may not have won any of the prizes in the races themselves but we certainly won the race to the refreshments afterwards - always very important!
The next race is the summer series is the Waterford to Tramore run this coming Saturday May 4th at 7pm, details below.
