Dingle Marathon
The Dingle Marathon and Half Marathon was the big race of the weekend gone by with hundreds of runners descending on the County Kerry town. Richard Lenihan and Mary Folan Ryan both had great runs on the day on what is one of the tougher routes on the race circuit. Well done to both.
An Ríocht 5K
The An Ríocht 5K series kicked off on Friday night in Castleisland. Noelle Leahy had a very good run finishing in just over 25 minutes. The first of our couch to 5K runners was also in action with Marie O Donnell having no trouble completing the 5k distance. Well done to both Noelle and Marie.

All roads lead to Castleisland on this coming Friday where our couch to 5k group will participate in the local 5km series hosted by An Ríocht AC.
