VIRTUAL DUBLIN CITY MARATHON 2020 - Kerry

 


Determination, achievement and teamwork are the words that spring to mind after watching our members accomplish their marathon miles this weekend. Firstly congratulations to Catherine Burke and Aine Quane who took on their very first marathon. With recent restrictions this was not an easy task so well done to you both. David Butler breezing through his half marathon on Saturday.
The strong winds did not slow John O Sullivan down as he held a strong steady pace on each loop around Ardfert , knowing every mile ran was for Banna Rescue.
Moises Olalde was hardly seen as he just flew through the miles in Kilmoyley on Sunday morning.
Linda O Sullivan was all smiles through her Half Marathon and Margaret Carlin rocked out another marathon with ease.
Club teamwork showed in abundance today with our support runners. Well done to the Kilmoyley boys Padraig, Gerald and John who ran alongside Moises offering support through each mile. Tom, Ursula and Joe kept John company in Ardfert. David Kissane ensured Margaret and Linda both finished in style. Thank you to the support cars and bike for keeping our runners safe.
In these hard times 2020 is a year that has been very hard for everyone, but the friendship within the club showed immensely today through the support that was given. Friendship like this is important and it showed throughout today.
Well done everyone!
