BERLIN MARATHON

The very popular flat and fast Berlin Marathon was held on Sunday, September 24 in the capital of Germany. It is the latest marathon of the World Marathon Majors. Barry Hartnett made the trip to compete in it and had a fantastic performance to finish in a very fast time of 2:35:35.

THE 2 JOHNNIES SOUTH TIPPERARY WOMENS 8K MINI MARATHON

The 2 Johnnies South Tipperary Women's 8k Mini Marathon was held on Sunday, September 24 on a rainy day. That didn't dampen the spirits of the runners and a great day was had by all.

CARRAUNTOOHILL CLIMB

We had 4 club athletes recently take on a hike up the highest mountain in Ireland. Christina Fryday, Patricia Moloney, Martina Butler, and Caroline Dawdry took on the 1,039m climb up Carrauntoohill. They went up the Devil's Ladder and descended in a zig-zag on the way down. It was a first for all of them.
