We begin this report by wrapping up the Dublin Marathon action. Apart from the results reported last week, we now have confirmation of how the club fared in the Wicklow Marathon Championship which yielded 8 individual medals and a team gold medal for the women’s F35 team where Donna Quinn, Anne Bromley and Nora Butler combined to distance Kilcoole’s team by 27 minutes. The senior men’s team won Silver with just over two minutes ahead of Lakeshore Striders and 36 minutes behind Kilcoole. The scorers were Niall MacCague, Aaron Cullen and Eoin Morton.
Our two M35+ teams did not medal but finished 4th with the first team seeing Louis Byrne, Angus Tyner and Jimmy Cullen combining. The second team finished 7th with Ian Bromley, Ben Lewis and Steve Cregan the scorers. Our club was the third most well represented in the race behind Bray and Kilcoole.
Powerscourt Ridge
In the first race since the Dublin Marathon, we have ten runners in action at the IMRA race at Powerscourt Ridge which yielded two age category podiums.
