10K fever is gripping the country – the National 10K's were on last weekend and Craughwell had one runner (me) who came 63rd in the overall race, in a time of 35:30 on the official clock. The standard was very high. Congratulations to Athenry AC who were fifth team on the day and had the high honour of winning individual honours through Paul McNamara for the second year in a row. More on this at AthenryAC.com. Of course, that is…
Twenty five grinning runners turned out for the inaugural Craughwell Handicap Chase on a slightly misty Easter Saturday Morning. Luckily for everyone, the drizzle eased off and stopped by race time and in the end it was a fine morning for a run – no wind and perfect temperatures.

You can run the distance as you like – walking every few miles,…

Cost is €12 per person – if we have a team, we’ll probably have some sort of subsidy towards cost from the club. Our team won’t be competitive but its only for the fun! If concerned about the standard, take a look at the results of last year’s 10k at http://www.athleticsireland.ie/roadrace/10k/2005_ALL.HTM The standard is…
