A great start to the 2012 road running season in Galway today in Renmore.

Two laps of Renmore following by a cup of tea is always a constructive way of spending an early Sunday afternoon.

Full provisional result and prize list is attached.

A short three weeks after the Sixmilebridge Marathon, and Mick Rice and Ruthann Sheahan were out again this weekend to show the club the resilience of their muscles, with some great performances down in Clonakilty.

Ruthann ran a superb personal best, to the pride of her home town, Clonakilty!

No pictures yet - will get something nicer up if they put up some photos!

The third half marathon in Waterford this year; between the postponed Dec. 2010 half marathon held in January, the national half marathon in September and the 2011 WAC club race held this December, there were plenty of grumbles from local runners at the thought of having to trek out the Waterford bypass again on what is one of the less scenic half marathon routes in the country!

Andrew Talbot and his crew from Carnmore Hurling Club put on a great show yesterday for their second annual Turkey Trot 5KM in Carnmore, Sunday 4 December 2011.

The weather gods smiled on the race too, though it was a close shave, with rain before and immediately after proceedings.

A very successful race in Clarinbridge last weekend with Athenry AC's Jane-Ann Healy (her running name!) winning the women's race and Mike Cunningham (Bilboa AC - silent "a"!) winning the men's race.

A clean sweep for the club yesterday at the inaugural Eddie Murphy Memorial marathon in Sixmilebridge, Co. Clare, with Ruthann Sheehan winning the women's marathon and Mick Rice winning the men's, in excellent times of 3:32 and 2:51 respectively.

With a choice of three different events being run on the same course (double marathon, 30 miles and marathon), our ultra runners went short for this event and it paid off!
With perfect conditions for running, the marathon started at midday, with 26 laps of a one mile loop through the village. No getting lonely out there, then.

Missed Hollymount for the fourth year in a row last Sunday - have run in five in the past (PB: 40:59). 

It's a 10KM I like to go up to *if* I'm going well, most of the reason why I've not travelled since 2007 :-(.

Thanks to my good friend, Jo Gardiner, for PDFs of the results.  See attached.

Brilliant weather greeted the organisers and starters of today's 1st annual East Galway AC/Abbeyknockmoy Hurling Club 4M road race run around a 4M circuit in the area.

Attached find the provisional result and prize list for the second annual Corofin AC "Winning Way" 8KM Road Race held today, 13 November.

Attached find a full result and prize list (XLS and PDF) from the very successful second running of the Athenry AC Fit4Life 5KM in Newcastle, Athenry on Saturday, 5 November 2011.

The DCM website seems to be suffering like my ankle tendons - overstretched and undertrained! A summary of club finishers below has been added - updated 02-Nov with as much information as we can piece together from AAI and comments. Apologies to anyone left out of initial results but it's been tricky piecing together!

Mick Rice led the Athenry men's team home, with yet another sub three hour marathon. Deirdre Quinn ran an excellent PB, dropping the 3:30 pacers to take the ladies home in 3:27.

Please find attached the official result from the first North
East Galway/Moylough 10KM road race which took place in and
around this North East Galway village on Sunday, 16 October.

Congratulations to Linda Cummins (mellodyl2003 at yahoo.ie or
087-2801935) and her hard-working committee on this successful
event.

It was a very successful race for Athenry AC:

* First three in the Senior Women's race with Sinead Foran,
Sinead Brody and Bernie Mulryan finishing in a heap.

* Conor Dolan scored a massive PB to task second place in the
Senior Men's race.

The Athenry AC men's team did well on a day where there was plenty of distraction via a long wet windy last marathon training run around Ryehill to divert tired legs.
