Eoin Phelan continues to draw away from the pack in the Most Prolific by completing a Tuesday/Wednesday race double encompassing the two races of our mid-week report. Eoin leads our most profilic with 31 races – eight clear of James Heggie – and now matching Angus Tyner’s record of 31 races (from 2017).
PARK WEST 5 KM
Eoin started Tuesday evening with his second best 5 km performance and 25th overall in a field of nearly 400 at the Park West 5 km in Dublin.

GLEN OF THE DOWNS
24 hours later he was joined for another evening race by five more of our runners: the new 8.2 km course in the traditional surrounds of Glen of the Downs.
Graham Bush continues his rise in form coming home as our first runner in 16th overall and 2nd M55. Loraine Creane was next – 2nd woman overall and 1st F40 – four races, four podiums this year and all the more impressive given her bad bike crash earlier in the year.
Eoin Phelan was next with James Heggie fourth while Chris Willoughby unfortunately had to concede his first DNF after pulling a hamstring midway through the race. The Wednesday night races now return to the Leinster League next weekend at Church Mountain….
