REPORT: No April fools! Just lots of races and records!

April 24, 2026 by glendaloughac, posted in Mountain running, Race reports, Road running, Trail running, Ultra running

A very busy month behind us with a score of trail races including an overall win for one of our women and no less than three new club records on the roads!

Road Races

A good spread of road racing over the last while, mostly centred around half marathons and shorter races, with a few stepping up to the marathon.

What stands out isn’t any one result but how a few of them line up: particularly Catherine Devitt hitting a PB and then backing it up shortly after with a marathon club record and Aaron Cullen decimating the men’s 10k record.

Bohermeen Half Marathon

Bohermeen as usual: quick course, but only if you get it right early. The Tyners, father and son, ran it sensibly together.

RESULT

Hugh Armstrong (Ballina AC) 1:04:23

——GLENDALOUGH AC RUNNERS————-
536. Angus Tyner 1:32:06
557. Tivon Tyner 1:32:29
1199. Karen Croal 1:53:54
1406. Aileen Duffy 2:02:41

CPC Half Marathon

A stronger field than most and a good place to test yourself. Catherine secured a PB by about 30 seconds in her final preparations for Rotterdam lowering her own half-marathon club record too. Only five of the club’s male members hold faster PBs on this distance now than Catherine.

RESULT

Felix Masai Kibet (Kenya) 0:59:52

——GLENDALOUGH AC RUNNERS————-
755. Catherine Devitt 1:23:15 (PB, Club Record, Club o45 record)

1174. Catherine Devitt 3:00:56 (PB, Club Record, O45 Club Record)

Big turnout here and one of the tougher days out on the calendar although this year without Maulin and Djouce summits in the mix.

Grace Curham’s 2nd senior finish looked like a breakthrough at the time and it turned out to be just that. Our first finishers, however, where Ian followed by wife Anne twenty places later and Stephen Kennedy in one of his first outings for our club. The Tyners once again paced the race together before Eoin Phelan, Julia Palma, James Heggie and new member Chad Biddle rounded out the field (in his first ultra).

MARATHON DES SABLES

And last but certainly not least, Ross Thompson took on the Marathon des Sables: a 250 km multi-day, self-sufficient stage race and about as far removed from a Sunday morning 10k as you can get. Finishing 891 out of over 1500 competitors in 59 hours – very impressive!
