(Congrats to Bernie Mulryan on another overall win!)

The 2nd Annual East Galway 4M Road race took place yesterday (18 November 2012) on a wet & miserable Sunday afternoon. 119 Runners braved the elements and it was a great credit to all concerned to see almost all Galway ACs represented. With representation form Athenry AC,  Athlone Tri Club, Carrick-On-Shannon AC, Clare River Harriers, Corofin AC, Craughwell AC, East Galway AC, G Fit, GCH, Loughrea AC, Maree AC, Mayo AC, South West Vets, Tir Chonaill AC, Tri Lakes Triathlon Club and Tuam AC, there was a nice spread of running talent and a great sensation that clubs were lending their support to this club race. Some people with no club affiliations travelled from as far away as Dublin for this event!

Comments from participants gave a great indication that this race while having one of the toughest routes in the race calendar is well received by most competitors and an event that will be marked on the calendar by many. The organisers are very grateful to the clubs for their support and wish to thank also the Garda, Order of Malta, Stewards and all those that made teas Coffees sandwiches and many other goodies for the day. Thank you to anyone that helped in any way and a special thanks to Siobhan Glynn and James Lundon who went out of their way to lend support. It is much appreciated.

The men's team event was won in Great Style by the Tuam AC and the ladies' event went to home team East Galway A.C.

I almost forgot to mention the 60+ kids that took to the roads in the 1km fun run in extremely poor conditions.    Great to see so many of our youngsters in action.
