19.09.2015 - Killarney Women's Mini Marathon
The promise of ice cream, doughnuts and brownies at the finish line tempted a good few of our club ladies for this well organised and supported event in Killarney. Due to floods in some parts of Killarney National Park, the route was altered with 5K loop for shorter distance and 2 loops (5K each) for 10K.
10K - Cathy Quilter, Margaret Carlin, Yvonne Quill, Catherine Burke, Kirstie Nowak, Ann McGlynn, Norma O'Dowd, Nora Falvey
5K - Shannon Quill (4th overall), Mags Hussey, Ella Brosnan & Brendan O'Sullivan.

27.09.2015 - Naas 10K
David Butler moved his training base camp closer to Dublin for the weekend in the hope that this will give him "the edge" when he will enter final stage of his Dublin marathon training. We have no doubt that his first effort in the Dublin marathon will leave him breathless (at some stage).
Fortunately for him, he came with his wife, Irene to this 10K event in Naas to monitor his progress.
