Irish Life Frank Duffy 10 Mile
Ali Ashgar Khoyee has found a distance he likes and travelled to Dublin for this 10 mile event around Phoenix Park.
He had a super run improving on his last outing with a time of 1:16:32 setting a new PB for himself with an improvement of over 4 minutes.
Congratulations Ali, great running.
Mr Oil County Road Relays
The rearranged Road Relays took place at Wexford Racecourse on a very pleasant Sunday morning. Our call for Relay runners during the week was answered and we entered 1 Senior women's teams, 1 Senior men's teams, same again in Masters and finally 2 mixed Relay teams. A brilliant spectator event as the athletes can be seen for almost 3/4 of the loop so watching your club athletes whizz around the 1500m loop before handing over to the next athlete brings extra excitement to the event.
A super haul of medals was their reward for stepping outside their comfort zone and blitzing the laps one by one.
In the Mixed we were gold and silver medal winners.
In the senior ladies we were also gold medal winners and gold in Masters.
And in the senior men's we were silver medal winners and gold in Masters.
Congratulations to all our athletes.
Thanks to the management of Wexford Racecourse for use of the facility, Irish Red Cross for first aid, County board for their organisation, Tadhg who was on entry and result duty as well as running and all the club members who came out to support our runners as we hosted the event.
