Club Newsletter by Karen Bevan & Co…

Hope you are all keeping well in this end of summer back to school week.

The Ballycotton Summer series has come to an end for another year well done to all who took part in these races this year. There was a great turn out of Eagle AC members for the final race last Thursday and great results too. 16 club members did all 4 races with 9 men and 3 women taking those much coveted top positions, Congratulations. Plenty more on this below.

A reminder for those of you who have not let Damian know if you can join us for a club BBQ on September 23rd. Please contact him so they can get an idea on numbers .

Lots of club new this week including club information talks, and plans for a social club run on the Waterford Greenway so please do read on many thanks to John for this.

Good Luck and the best of wishes to all running this weekend. There are plenty of events taking place from Kerry Way Ultra Ultra Lite, and the munster League in North Cork ( Ger has more on this below for you), to the Greenway Half Marathon in Waterford; there will be Eagles running far wide!
Enjoy it and hope all goes to plan.

Thanks as always to all who have contributed to the email this week.

Grellan McGrath and John Desmond are planning a club run in the Glen of Aherlow in March of 2018. The distance will be 13.1 miles and the course will be on forest trails with spectacular views out over the Glen of Aherlow and the Galtee Mountains to the south.

The exact date will be decided much closer to the event as the weather will be the deciding factor. We hope to accommodate as many members as possible as regards paces with the emphasis on enjoying the run rather than making it a speed session.

In terms of running shoes, standard runners will do but it might be best perhaps not to wear your latest pair.

More details by mail to members.
