The 10th running of Athenry AC's Guess-Your-Own-Time/Handicap/Burger Run 10KM Championship took place on Friday, 24 July 2015.

James Corbett and his now usual band of helpers clicked into action at race HQ, St. Mary's GAA grounds out in Carnuan.

A record crowd of 45 toed the line at 8PM, to take in the old Fields 10KM course (with slight modifications, primarily the taking out of the level crossing, which this year was a very good idea as the gates in hte town came down as the 45 minute runners were coming through).

The evening stayed dry and remarkably fly/midge free.  It was a little windy but certainly not sunny or too warm - it is the summer of 2015 after all.

The burgers were ready when we got back and after a frantic bout of Excelling the results were announced.

Thanks to James Corbett, Maire Treasa Beatty, Bridget Ann Walsh, Owen Curran & his assistant chefs, Peadar Nugent, Michael Glynn, Caroline Freeney and Mairead Sullivan for making the event a great success.  Some bald chap did the results (see attached PDF), while Brendan Monaghan and Bridget Ann Walsh took the photos.
