A group of club members travelled to Galway on Saturday to take on various distance races on Saturday morning. 1 member took the full marathon on with Tadhg Henderson coming home with a 4.22 in his pocket.

The Half Marathon saw 3 members taking up the challenge. Louise Henderson clocked a well deserved 2.09, Enda O'Sullivan was next over the line in 2.12 and Brian Reilly stopping his watch at 2.17.

Three men stepped up to tackle the 6k race, Neil O'Grady finished in 16th after a sprint finish and John Dier was 34th in his bare feet in a very fast paced race. Speedy recovery to Paul Donovan who had to pull up during the race.
