Ray O'Connor begins the biggest athletic challenge of his life today when he sets off on the first leg of the "Brathay Challenge - 10 Marathons in 10 Days" (http://www.brathaychallenge.com/). Ray is the first Irishman to undertake this mindblowing task and so will be attempting to set an Irish record for the feat. We want to send all of our very best wishes to Ray for today and every day during the next ten days. When you're going about your daily routine between now and next Sunday week Ray will be hoping to clock up 260 miles of road running.

Another great night out in Tuam last Tuesday as the second in the Galway May 5km Series for 2008 took place. Local organiser Brendan Monaghan and his dedicated crew of Tuam AC volunteers put on a great show and the race went off very well. At the very front of the field our very own Brian O'Connor crossed the line first and he had 263 enthusiastic souls trailing in his wake.

Ian & Wayne at the AAI national 10k in Athenry

Many of you will know that we've employed some extra help at races like the AAI National 10k and the Galway Series to cover medical emergencies. This service has been provided to us at very attractive rates by Sports Medics Ireland. We've been highly impressed with the service that they've been able to provide and it's reassuring for organisers and athletes alike to have such assistance at our events should the need arise.

Champion Sports - Cork City Marathon - Entries Closing

Posted May 8th, 2008 by Mick Rice

You know the way it is. You say to yourself, "I'm going to do that race. I'm definitely doing that race". Then, a couple of weeks later you talk with someone who tells you they've actually entered the race and you realise that you haven't, and that you're too late now.

Well.....! The closing date for the Champion Sports Cork City Marathon is tomorrow Friday the 9th of May

Two Wonderful Collections of Photographs

Posted May 7th, 2008 by Mick Rice

Many of you will be familiar with the work of photographer John O'Connor who has documented so may of our adventures over the last number of years. John is a talented cameraman with an eye for the perfect picture. His photographs preserve the action from our races in such a wonderful way and allows us to look back at all the good times we've had running all around the county and further afield. As a former elite runner himself John can recognise all of the hard work put in by all of those who take part in our races and in return we very much appreciate and admire his photographic talent.

In a cracking time of 1:16:04, Brian O Connor followed up on his fast time in the Newcastle 5km by repeating his performance of 2 years ago by coming 3rd in the ING luxembourg half marathon.

Brian's brother Fintan also produced a creditable perfomance, clocking 1:43:41.

Well done to both!

Following the astounding success of our first caption competition (http://www.athenryac.com/ballycotton-2008-caption-competition) we'll have another go. I'm not sure whay Peter Delmer has featured in both pics. Perhaps he's just unlucky or perhaps he's an attention junkie. Judge for yourselves
