Maroon Army to Launch Secret Attack on Connemara

An army of 38 Athenry AC athletes have been conscripted to join the ranks in the Connemarathon next Sunday. Athenry AC has been affiliated with this fantastic event since it’s inception but never before have we sent forth such an impressive rush of adrenaline.

Thirty three will line up in Leenan for one of the best half-marathon’s in the country starting with a rush up the Devil’s Mother and finishing with an attack on the Hell of the West.

Three brave heroes are set to attack from the full-marathon flank and will march on meagre rations of carbo gels starting from Lough Inagh.

Two more had planned to totally surprise the enemy by starting at the finish and running full circle for 39.3 miles (!!!); however latest intelligence has it that one of these two dim-wits has already shot himself in the foot and injury looks like it will consign him to the altogether wiser strategy of the Leenan start.

Best of luck to the full Motley Crew!
