Wild West Run 2012

Over 200 runners took part in second edition of "Wild West Run" Trail Half Marathon from Kenmare to Muckross in Killarney.

13.1 mile course was a mix of road, trail, mud, stones and in some cases water obstacles. In good running (in many places hiking conditions) with great support and marshaling (Kenmare AC, An Riocht & Spa Mucross, GG) this event was really enjoined by participants.

Winner of 2012 edition - James Doran of Riocht AC, complete course in 1h34m!

Artur Nowak of St.Brendan's AC finished in 2h24m (placed 131).

We had a lot of athletes compete this weekend at the indoor competitions held in Nenagh. Well done to everyone who competed. A lot of the athletes achieved pb's at the competition with Kate O' Shea throwing 6.29m in her first shot putt event & a pb in her high jump! Gavin Raggett got through to the final of his 60m sprint & just lost out on a medal in the long jump with a jump of 3.71 in what was his first indoor competition. In the u12 boys high jump Darragh Courtney came 3rd with a pb of 1.25. In the boys u13 competition Darragh Lowth had a very successful weekend placing 1st in the long jump with a jump of 4.54. He then came 2nd in the 600m. Darragh then had the high jump competition, where he broke the Munster record with a jump of 1.42 placing 2nd! This is a pb for him. It was a very exciting competition to watch, well done Darragh.
