Charleville Half Marathon 15th September 2019

by

Report by Ruairi Egan

As usual, the club was well represented by 28 members in Charleville on Sunday 15th September at the annual half marathon. 1,200 runners set out on a dry but pretty humid morning. There were quite a few PB’s set on the relatively flat course. Alan O’Brien was first home, recording another superb sub 70, with Mark Smith and Derek O’Keefe next over the line for the club. Sandra Manning led the ladies challenge with her first sub 90 half, well done to Sandra, with Michelle Traynor and Mairead Lonergan making up our top 3.
In the age categories, we had a win for Richard Piotrowski in the M70 and 3rd place for Andrew O’Farrell in the M65 section.
