Only two races this weekend but they ranged from The Hague in the Netherlands to the Charlie Curran in Carlow…
PUINDUINENRUN
Following up on her first place in the Zuiderparkrun last weekend, Catherine Devitt finished 2nd woman in the unique trail race ‘Puinduinrun’ described thus on their own website:
The Hague's Puinduinen, also referred to with a wink as the “Alps of The Hague”, is a recreational area that was created from a literal heap of rubble as a result of all kinds of demolition work in the fifties and sixties.

CHARLIE CURRAN MEMORIAL RUN
Meanwhile at home Eoin Phelan ensured the men’s section wasn’t entirely shaded for the weekend with a PB at the Charlie Curran Memorial over the increasingly less common 5 mile distance. It’s a distance that has only been run 4 times by Glendalough AC athletes since 2014.
None of this takes away from Eoin’s run which was the year’s 2nd PB by a club runner and where he finished nicely in the top quarter of the 400 plus field.
