WATERFORD HALF-MARATHON(ISH)
It’s tradition with the odd road trip for our club and county Waterford has been the destination for a few. This time it was a double quartet travelling to the Waterford half-marathon with several good runs and Louis Byrne leading the club home again after doing so in Dublin. Only real negatives on the day was that the course appears to have been roughly 300m short meaning times cannot be accounted for in the old PB reckoning and that Aoife Joyce had to DNF after roughly 8 miles.
Eoin Phelan extended his record of races per season for the club to 52.
| RESULT |
| 1. Ryan Creech (Leevale AC) 1:06:59 |
