Despite the miserable running conditions there were some excellent performances, which included a race win, podium spots and 3 members in the Top 10!

Huge congrats to Damian Kenneally on his race win with a super time of 1.12.28. Very very well deserved.

Damian’s training partners Mark Smith and Ken Ince weren’t too far behind finishing in 3rd and 7th spots respectively with times of 1.15 and 1.17.

Some very impressive category placings this morning also – Tom Fox ,Brian McGuire and Pat O’Connor finishing 2nd,3rd and 4th M50, with Mike McGrath and Denis Carroll claiming the 1st and 2nd M60 spots.

Well done to all!

Its been great to see the return of the big city marathons over the past number of weeks. And also great to see Eagle AC so well represented at many of them!

The month started with Tom Fox , Brian McGuire and Vivian Foley heading to the German capital for the Berlin Marathon.

Ray Harrington followed soon after when he took on the task of 26.2 miles around Rome.

The beginning of October saw Karen Bevan and Ruairi Egan heading to London with Siobhan Holland completing this race virtually around the roads of Ballincollig.

Finally, Dave O’ Keeffe, Catherine Murphy, Darren Casey and Gary Gibbons decided to take on the Belfast Marathon. The Belfast race also doubled up as the National Championships for 2021.

Some superb results and performances from our members at these races! Well done to all and we hope that the recoveries are going well!
