Approx. 40 members were in attendance at the Midleton 5 Mile Road Race on Thursday evening, the first race of the Eagle AC Summer Series 2019. A great turnout!
How many Eagles can you spot?!
The club was led home by Donal Dowling who ran under 30 minutes for the first time finishing in a very impressive 29.45. Paul Cotter was right behind in a time of 29.47, a great run so soon after the Boston Marathon. Catherine Murphy led the ladies home in a brilliant 33.03.
