With racing as we know postponed for the foreseeable future it was great to see club members taking part in a number of charity and virtual runs over the past number of weeks, all while complying with the HSE guidelines currently in place.

A number of members took part in a 10k Garden Challenge on Easter Saturday, which saw them running laps of their gardens until they had completed the 10k distance! It was great to see a large number of other family members getting involved in the fun also! All who participated donated money to the very worthy Feed the Heroes cause. Former club member Jonathan Kenneally was the organiser of this event.

Members have also been busy participating in the first 2 BHAA Virtual 5K races. The 1st race helped to raise money for the Irish Cancer Society, while last weeks race was in aid of Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. Lots of club members spotted in the top category positions – see below for full results! Well done to all!
