** Official Result added - May 2012 ** A great day today in Labane/Ardrahan courtesy or Josephine and Gabriel Gardiner! Fair play on a very well organised event.

Thank to James Sexton for both results!

The race was won...

Congratulations to Padraig Kelly (Sarsfields) and his crew in St. Killians out in New Inn last Sunday on a fantastic event, which got huge local support, both far and near in the county. The weather gods smile on their efforts too, which always helps. Thanks too to Mary, Linda and Thomas Porter...

Two races in the Kinvara Rock and Road series and the classic Ballycotton 10 brought great runs out of Athenry runners at the weekend.

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.

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.

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.

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. Darragh McShane led a team over 8000m which included Mick Rice, Mark Breen, Ray Somers, Frank Burke and Alan Burke - and! - in a...
