Congratulations to all members who ran in the Cork City Marathon on Sunday. The club had a large representation across the Full, Half and Relay events. Conditions weren’t ideal on the day with the weather being quite warm and windy on various parts of the course.
In the full marathon, according to the provisional results, Eagle had 14 members taking part. Vivian Foley led the crew home when finishing in a hugely impressive 10th place overall in a time of 2.44.16. Viv was also 1st M45 home on the day.

Andrew O’Farrell too won his age category finishing 1st M65 in a great time of 3.43.44. Dan Kelleher completed his first marathon in 3.41.59 – Congrats Dan. A word for John Swanton too who decided to sign up for the 26.2 miles on Saturday, less than 24 hours before the start of the race!!
In the half marathon Tom Fox was the first Eagle AC member to cross the finish line in a time of 1.26.38. This time ensured a category win for Tom. Martin Leahy also secured a 1st place finish in his category when he finished in 1.28.53.
Frances O’Connor was 2nd in her F60 category also. Catherine Murphy, continued her brilliant form so far this year, leading the Eagle ladies home in 1.31.13, a big PB for Catherine.

Aswell as those racing in the half we had a large number of members acting as pacers for the race, helping many runners achieve their goals on the day.
Gregg, Elaine, Karen, Michelle, Denis, Catherine, Derek, Ruairi, Helen and Richard!
In the relay event the club entered one mixed team which finished in an impressive 8th place out of 400 mixed teams. (3.17.20) They also finished in 26th place overall out of 623 teams. Well done to Ruairi O Callaghan, Ken Higgs, Sandra Manning, Michelle Traynor and Anne Lucey Murphy. Thanks to Damian and to Karen for organising the relay team.
