Some rain showers overnight thankfully cleared on Sunday morning as a large group of our members gathered on Wexford Quay awaiting the start of the Half Marathon which was quickly followed by the 10k start. Over 1600 people stood on the start line aover both events, a fantastic turnout. A well known route for both races but a fresh team running the show with Bear Races now the organisers of the popular event. A fantastic effort by all with happy faces and smiles hiding any pains. A few were completing their very first Half Marathon, well done Enya & Sarah. Some PB times too for the more seasoned runners, well done David, Samantha, Rob, Helen & Liam. Thanks to all our supporters today, it was appreciated by all who ran.
