UPDATE! Due to Popular demand, the meet and Train continues EVERY Saturday morning at 10am from the Church Car Park. Athletics is not just for elite athletes.

It was something like, ”Good Health is a Crown, Worn by the Healthy and Only Visible to Those Who Are Sick” . I’m sure that’s not quite right but I think I...

Congrats to Ray O'Connor and his merry band of helpers for running another very successful series of races out in the wilds of Connemara on Sunday. It was much more _Moab Red_ than _Dreary Green_ there, as was going to be very clear from early morning when the sun broke through the clouds well...
