Only one race this weekend and it was the IMRA Leinster season-opener at Brockagh Burst. Two men in the top-20, four in the top-50, three category placings, two debutantes and a few returnees – this race had it all.

BROCKAGH BURST (SL season-opener)
report by club coach Rene Borg
We had our third largest crew ever at an IMRA race (10)* at one of the most local races for us: Brockagh Burst, this year serving as the season-opener for mountain running in Leinster and the Spring League – something shown by sold out tickets and nearly 200 starters. On the side-lines we were also well-represented with Graham Bush serving as summit marshal and Barry O’Neill as deputy race director although no special shortcuts for our members we reported.
Paul Duffy, myself and Kevin Ferguson stayed close together up and around the first bend on the constantly steepening fire-road (at 1.2k). For Kevin this was his first race for our club and also his first IMRA race! In general the theme for our runners was comebacks: Derek Cullen back after injury with his first IMRA race since 2019, Graeme Warren returning to shorter racing after Art O’Neill and Paul Duffy back after nursing a peroneal injury for a month.
Also racing on the day was a good contingent of our Wicklow Wolf RC runners: Alan Kennedy, Mark Willoughby, Maria Forsyth, Elaine McKinney (one of the 2023 new-joiners) and James Heggie. It was particularly sweet for Elaine who won the F45 category!

As fire-road gave way to the infamous grassy bank, I carved out a bit of a lead on our other runners arriving at the summit somewhere in the top-20 with two runners closely ahead. A few spots back first Kevin arrived and then Paul Duffy. At the Xmas Party, myself and Paul had featured on the Table Quiz as the ‘Rivalry of the Year’ – facing off six times in official races – with me winning the 4 hill races and Paul the two cross-country runs. This year the tables look set to turn. I was enjoying a good descent – passing out 5 runners only to lose a spot late on to the hard charging Paul who gained at least 10 spots on the descent.

Kevin was next over the line followed by Graeme Warren and Derek Cullen in that order and then came our five Wicklow Wolf RC pack: first Alan in a great 67th spot then Elaine (11th lady), James Heggie (securing his top-100 spot!), Mark Willoughby and Maria Forsyth.

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.

Not to be outdone on the home-front, Richard tripled up on achievements on Sunday: setting a new 10 km PB of 37:08 (taking 30 seconds off his 2020 mark), establishing a new overall and M45 club record (and the fourth fastest time on our ‘all-time’ list), and finishing 2nd in the M45 category.

Twenty-eight races have already been bagged by our runners since January 1st and seven more where in action although our line-up was missing Paul Duffy, Gavin Kennedy and Marcus Murphy – all taking precautions after recent minor injuries.
Those of our runners registered with parent club Sli Cualann donned the Navy and Orange with Diarmuid Kavanagh, Aran Lynham, Graham Bushe and Loraine sporting our regular colours while they await their transfer across to the mother ship in March.
The women were off first over the traditional 4 km distance with Donna Quinn and Loraine Creane. Running for Sli Cualann Donna registered another solid performance finishing 26th out of 90 runners and being the second Wicklow woman home for the team that finished 6th out of 10 club teams. The county was somewhat overmatched by the bigger neighbours on the day finishing 7th out of 7. Wicklow Intermediate champion Loraine Creane became the first to carry the yellow vest at a Leinster event and finished in the top half of the field.

Next up where the men with a large Wicklow presence – 14 Sli Cualann athletes plus Graham Bushe running as Glendalough AC and four Bray Runners for a total of 19 Wicklow athletes out of the 135 starters (by some distance the largest field of the day).
Graham Bushe was our lead runner for the full race with coach Rene in close attendance and they crossed the line within 13 seconds of each other in 94th and 97th spot with Rene serving as the fourth counter for the Sli Cualann team that finished 9th out of 12 and also the Wicklow County team (finishing 7th out of 7 counties). the over-50 men’s team came a bit closer to glory with 4th spot. Anthony Breen was the third Glendalough AC runner (also representing SC) and kept a 20 runners behind him to finish 116th.
In the Sli Cualann team, Rene was the 7th runner out of 14 and Anthony the 12th over the 6 km.

Finally, our ‘young men’ could tow the line for the longest ordeal of the championship: the 8 km men’s race which added two of the slightly faster 1 km loops to the two 3 km loops done by the ‘elderly gents’. Aran Lynham gave himself a bit of rebaptism of fire after a season away from running (focused on GAA with Laragh GFC) and a holiday away in Zimbabwe and in the end decided to treat it as a good solid training finishing 37th out of 37 in a smaller than expected field. Diarmuid Kavanagh’s partial conversion from cyclist to runner continues apace and he ran well to finish 31st in 34:04.

For County Wicklow the excitement was at the front where Parnell’s Derek Crammond led the race most of the way before eventually being edged by Mullingar’s Vinny Connolly. He had the silver well wrapped up, however, and with strong runs from many other Sli Cualann athletes (including two master’s athletes who stepped down to fill the void left by Joe O’Dowd’s illness, the Intermediate Men could add a Silver medal to their recent Gold from the Leinster Novice.
It’s hard to imagine two surfaces more different than the pristine boards of the Abbotstown National Arena’s indoor track and the soft grass and mud of Shanganagh Park but managing this contrast was a task that fell to a lot of Wicklow athletes (including two of our own) this weekend past as Wicklow Athletics hosted it’s 22/23 Wicklow Masters XC Championship on Sunday 8th. Less than 24 hour earlier, a busy program of indoor track events were held as part of the Wicklow Indoor Championship 23.

WICKLOW INDOOR TRACK
This event was primarily focused on juvenile and junior athletes but some seniors and masters turned up to run in distances from 60m to 1500m as well as the throwing, putting and jumping events. Diarmuid Kavanagh made history for our club by becoming our first indoor track competitor in the 800m race. His time of 2:21.6 thus stands as the new club record and a Bronze medal in the Men’s senior race – his first for the club.

A few hours later, a bit more micro-history awaited as first Donna Quinn and then Diarmuid Kavanagh and club coach Rene Borg took to the start in the 1500m races. Donna was our first female indoor competitor and all three were the first runners to race over the 1500m distance in a Glendalough AC singlet.
Donna Quinn in youthful company
Donna raced well to work her way through a field of largely younger competitors and claim the Gold medal in the F40 category. Diarmuid and Rene swiftly followed suit running 5:08 and 5:11 respectively to win the MS and M40 categories both passing out a few runners as they ran steady laps around the track. For Rene this was his first indoor track race since 2010 (and the first he completed – having dropped out of his first attempt).
All three runner’s times stand as either overall club records or age category records.

WICKLOW MASTER’S CROSS-COUNTRY
Traditionally, this is the most popular cross-country championship among our runners and many were glad to be back at the flat and fast course in Shanganagh for the first time since 2019. Rachel, Donna, and Aoife were first up in the 4 km ladies race. This was Rachel’s first cross-country race since 2019 and she promptly improved both her time on the same course (16 seconds) and her overall position (3rd moving up from 4th). Last time she had taken the F35 Gold which she exchanged with F40 Silver this time around. Donna Quinn – perhaps feeling the 1500m – finished 5th (like in 2019). Aoife took Bronze in the F45 and help the lady’s team to Silver behind Parnell in the teams.
John Conway and Angus Tyner in close battle
the men’s race ended up doing an extra early lap resulting in the course growing from 6 km to 6.6km – it was a tight battle for most of the race with John Conway, Angus Tyner and Rene Borg close for large portions. Angus Tyner eventually managed to mow his way past John in the last corner to follow. Graham Bushe was first man across the line and got silver in the M50 category with Marcus Murphy securing his first cross-country medal (Bronze in the O40) with a very fine run. Gavin Kennedy had to pull out with a groin strain on the final lap meaning the men’s team unfortunately didn’t rank – but 3rd place (and medals) were out of reach at that point as the team sat comfortable in a distant fourth.
Three of our runners took on the daunting challenge that is the Art O’Neill Challenge – warming up with 25 km on the streets of Dublin before taking on 35 km of rough mountain side and trails on the way to Glenmalure.
The last man to complete this for us was John Conway in 2020 and he came through with a very strong performance finishing joint 5th with Parnell’s Michael Dowling.
Behind him was Graeme Warren who was well up the field in 41st despite adding 4 km to the route late on! Ross Thompson – the Dynafit ambassador and Wicklow Wolf Run Club regular – was next in 60th position. The course claimed 34 DNFs and many more who were deemed ‘non-competitive’ for various reasons.

The racing season continues today in the Leinster Master’s and Intermediate Cross-Country in Avondale.
The 26th/27th December tends to be a busy time for racing and nine of our runners continued this tradition first at the super-traditional Streets of Wicklow 5k and then at the equally tradition-bound Djouce Remembrance Race over the Earl’s Drive course.
With 9 runners in action in the two races our club’s tally for the year stands at 380 races – only four short of the all-time record of 384 in 2017, although discounting club races we are well short with 277 this year to 336 that year).
STREETS OF WICKLOW 5K
Richard Costelloe was back for the holidays from his regular hunting grounds in Den Haag and promptly recorded the second fastest time over 5 km this season by one of our runners (beaten only by Aran Lynham’s 18:11). He was followed home by Marcus Murphy continuing a good ‘comeback season’ by taking 27 seconds off his time from earlier in the year (and running within 26 seconds of his PB from 2018).
Diarmuid Kavanagh saying he was ‘feeling the pints’ got around in 21:03 and Colm Kenna recorded his first road race since the Dublin Marathon and first since the Dublin Marathon. Aoife Joyce returned with her first road race since September (and first 5 km since last year) while Donna Quinn jogged around with daughter Lily to complete a fast year in sedate fashion.

DJOUCE REMEMBRANCE RACE (EARL’S DRIVE)
Alan Kennedy, Gavin Kennedy and David Clancy at Djouce Woods
At the Djouce Remembrance race Gavin Kennedy led a hill running contingent of three home – Alan Kennedy and David Clancy (two of our Wicklow Wolf Run Club ‘recruits’) made up the other two of three musketeers.
Twenty-three of our members convened in one of our traditional venues for the annual Xmas Party: the Wicklow Heather in Laragh to celebrate a year of running achievements, celebrate Christmas, and hand out the traditional Club Awards which have been presented since 2015 (with the exception of 2020 where the lack of racing led to a suspension of the awards).
This year saw a remarkable 17 new club records and age category records along with over 30 PBs. Among the records was a new overall club record for the women’s marathon (Donna Quinn) and a new overall 50 km record (John Conway)
Our traditional awards were handed out at the Christmas Party in the Wicklow Heather on Saturday 17th December. All awards were based on nominations received per category which members voted on.
The exception is the Club Championship which was decided based on the results of 12 races over cross, trail, hill, track, and road.
CLUB PERSON OF THE YEAR
The Club Person of the Year Award is about recognising all those things that make a club function: attending training, jumping in to make up teams, crewing and volunteering at races and doing work for the committee and otherwise behind the scenes.
Rachel Wisdom and Colm Kenna were both nominated with Colm Kenna winning the popular vote and an extra prize in the form of a Wicklow Heather voucher. Colm had previously won this award in 2018.
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP 2022 – RENE/DONNA
This year’s overall winner was club coach Rene Borg (for the 2nd time) with Donna Quinn (for the 4th time) taking the ladies’ laurels. No one has ever retained the Club Championship title.
Many of our runners were very evenly matched this year which was shown by victories in the 12 races going to 7 different runners (Paul Duffy, Graham Bush and Aran Lynham the only runners to win more than 1 race each).
best newcomer – GAVIN KENNEDY
This Award is given to a member who joined in 2022 who other members feel have made the biggest contribution both socially, training-wise and race performances. Members who have attended at least one Glendalough AC session can be considered.
The new member nominees this year were
Gavin Kennedy
Eoin Phelan
Diarmuid Kavanagh
Gavin Kennedy secured the popular vote after becoming a very active member of the weekly training and having an impressive debut season in cross-country.
MOST IMPROVED – catherine devitt
The most improved prize is given to the athlete showing the most season-on-season (not necessarily life-time) improvement. The three nominations where:
Blaise Kinsella (5 road PBs from 3k to half-marathon and improving his best level by 15%)
Catherine Devitt (biggest improvement on previous season along with winning the Wicklow Off-Road Champs and setting a new club half-marathon record for women along with podiums at the Wassenar 15k and Lakers 10k)
Diarmuid Kavanagh (for a great debut season racing 16 times from 5k to 25k on trails, cross and hill, improving his performances by 25%,
The popular vote went to Laragh local Catherine Devitt who has been resurgent this year – showing why she was once not only an Irish mountain running international but also holds a silver medal from the National Novice Cross-Country and a gold medal from the Dublin Intermediate XC championship.
ROAD/TRACK PERFORMER OF THE YEAR – DONNA QUINN
This award’s nominations are based either on a singular performance on road or track that stands out or overall performance level in the discipline over the year. The nominees were:
Donna Quinn (six PBs – 3k, 2x 10k, 5k, half-marathon and marathon including new club record for the marathon and club F40 records for 3k and 5k along with gold medal in the F40 category at the Wicklow Road Champs and Silver in the F40 at the Leinster 10 mile championship)
Blaise Kinsella (5 road PBs – 3k, 5k, 2x 10k, and half-marathon along with Team Bronze at Wicklow Road Champs and victory at the Bawnogue 10k. M40 Club record and County Bronze in the 3000m)
Catherine Devitt (new half-marathon PB and club record for women of 1:31)
Donna Quinn secured her 13th award with the club and her third win in this category in three years to tie with Angus Tyner who has also won this award three times.
OFF-ROAD PERFORMER OF THE YEAR – Graham BUSH
Like the road award this award can be given for a singular or multiple performances in cross-country or in hill, trail, and mountain running. New member Graham Bush took this award in his first season! No one has won this award more than once.
Brian Lydon (for a fantastic first ultra season: completing the Ballyhoura, Seven Sisters, Glendalough Tucker Trail and culminating with UTMB CCC)
Graham Bush (won every head to head with other club members on trail, ran for 3rd placed WWR team, had 4 IMRA category wins plus 4 podiums and secured M50 Gold at the Wicklow Off-Road Champs and was our highest placed runner at the World Masters Mountain Running Championship)
Catherine Devitt (winner of the Wicklow Off-Road Championship)
Loraine Creane (winner of the Wicklow Intermediate cross-country for the second time)
TEAM PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR – WICKLOW WAY RELAY TEAM
Traditionally, cross-country teams, teams in the Wicklow Road Championship and in the various trail relays (especially the Wicklow Way Relay) are nominated for this prize. This year was no exception with the WW Relay team winning the award for the 2nd time.
Wicklow way Relay 1st Team – Torben Dahl, Rene Borg, Rachel Wisdom, Blaise Kinsella, Anthony Breen (4th place out of 35 teams – club’s highest finish yet)
Wicklow Road Championship – Aran Lynham, Blaise Kinsella, Brian Lydon, Marcus Murphy (Men’s Team bronze – 1 point ahead of Bray Runners)
Wicklow Off-Road M50 team – Graham B., Angus T. and Anthony B. (beating Parnell to Gold with 45 to 81 pts)
SPECIAL PRIZE – MOST PROLIFIC: angus tyner
The most prolific is a minor prize given out every year to the runner with the most races (not including club races). Angus Tyner won this prize for the third season (having also won it in 2015 and 2017).
Angus remains our most prolific in history with 120 races from 2015 to 2022 followed by Torben Dahl with 110. the most prolific woman is Donna Quinn with 78 races.
If club races are counted the most prolific racer is Colm Kenna with 180 and Donna Quinn with 167. Angus Tyner sits in 3rd in this tally with 164.
While many club members were ‘resting up’ with a controlled run around at the 4th round of our club Winter League in Brockagh Woods, two of our runners still had time for ‘serious business’ and serious it was!
WATERFORD HALF-MARATHON
Blaise Kinsella clocked an impressive PB of 1:24:04 in the well-attended Waterford Half-marathon. It was a good day all-round for Wicklow athletes with many PBs and Sli Cualann taking home the men’s team prize and the women securing 3rd spot.
2022 has been the busiest year for half-marathon events with 16 attempts and Blaise’s PB (his second this year) was the 8th fastest run since the club foundation in 2014. It caps a great year for Blaise where 10 races have yielded 6 PBs.

More locally Marcus Murphy took to the 5 km distance twice this week. First as a leisurely stroll around our Brockagh Woods 5k in the Saturday WL and then at a more determined pace to run 19:41 in the Rathdrum 5k Santa Dash where he finished second. This continues a good comeback season for Marcus – having raced only sparsely the last few years due to injuries.

The weekend’s action began in Clonakilty where Eoin Phelan – along with all others entered in the full marathon – was downgraded to the half-marathon due to road flooding. Expecting a different type of race, he cruised through a good 9 minutes below his PB on a slow day overall.
The race was won by the winner of our club fund-raiser – Tudor Mircea.

WICKLOW SENIOR CROSS-COUNTRY 2022
It’s no secret that cross-country doesn’t get the love it deserves: the discipline has interesting venues, great competition, fantastic physical development, the chance to run for a team (and yourself) and distils running to it’s essence: you against yourself first and you against the next guy/gal second.
Donna vs Parnell AC
So it was not entirely surprising that numbers at the frighteningly named ‘Wicklow Senior’ were somewhat low. Donna Quinn was outnumbered 7 to 1 by host’s Parnell as our lonely representative in the 5 km women’s race in Avondale yet still managed a Silver medal to continue to add shine to another great season.
Our men’s team lost two men to illness and another to injury on Saturday with another drop-out Sunday leaving ever-reliable Colm Kenna to step in and ensure the men had a full team. Paul Duffy led the cross-country team home for the third time in three outings followed by club coach Rene Borg and then Anthony and Colm. In a strong field, we finished fifth out of five teams.
