Eoin Kennedy kicked off his hill running season with a 54th place at the Mountain Meitheal fundraiser race while most of our recent regulars where taking a day off perhaps because of the nearly 12 km of running around Fairy Castle in the Dublin Mountains.

The weekend before in Ballyhoura Emma Hand posted a great performance with 7 hours 19 minutes for the Ultra Tour Ballyhoura and a podium spot in the women’s race. The 60 km race with 1850m elevation served as a ‘warmup effort’ ahead of Emma’s debut in the Kerry Way Ultra in September.
