Athenry AC has been chosen to host the 2012 National Half Marathon Championships.  The race will be held on Sunday 2nd September around the streets of Athenry at 1pm.  This is great news for the club and for running in the county to get this race and follows on from a very successful hosting of the National 10Km Championships several years ago.
