Keith Duggan, GAA writer with the Irish Times, gives a mention to the Fields of Athenry 10km in todays column. The race itself was not really a race – some guy won it in 29 minutes and everyone else trundled along behind, exhibiting a flabbergasting range of running styles. A few K in a man in a...

Entries are flowing in for the 8th running of the Fields of Athenry 10km. We're over 2/3 full with almost 700 entries, so lets have a look at whose coming. The first surprise, in some ways, is that about half of the entrants aren't members of any athletic club. This always surprises me, as I...
