Wexford Tri Club 10k

16 members headed to Rosslare for the Easter Monday Wexford Tri Club 10k which has become a popular event on most people's calender. An uncertain weather forecast and dark gloomy skies early in the morning thankfully held off and a bright few hours awaited the starters whistle. The well known 2 loops of 5km is a fair course and approx 250 people took off up the first incline. The atmosphere was superb as the marshals and supporters encouraged each and every athlete as they made their way around the 10k.

Fighting Cocks 5k, Carlow

Three club members took a drive to our neighbouring county Carlow to run the Fighting Cocks 5k. A really well organised event which attracts runners from near & far.

Fran Power had a fantastic run and improved on his PB for 5k with a run of 21:22 finishing in 18th place.

Ollie Stack was our next member after an injury lay off running a nice and steady 29:30 and our 3rd member Gráinne Hayes was happy with her run this morning clocking 32:13.

Great to see the club vest making an appearance at this event, well done.

Streets of Kilkenny 5k

The historic city of Kilkenny was Thursday evenings location for a 5k race which began and finished under the imposing structure we all know as Kilkenny Castle.

Brian Smyth was our man in black and red joining 896 others on the run with almost 350 athletes under 20 mins, a very quick race indeed.

Brian ran an impressive 19:01 to be 230th over the finish line, a superb run well done.

Torun Poland M65 1500M

Martin Kelly travelled to Torun in Poland where the World Masters was being held. He was competing in the M65 1500m where he ran well in a time of 5:31.61 to finish a very creditable 6th place just missing out on a place in the final.

Well done Martin, great to see you flying the flag.
