Dear Member, Firstly, I would like to thank each one of you for your support throughout the year 2009 and we all hope that it will be an equally successful one in 2010. Secondly, I hereby give you notice of our Annual General Meeting of Craughwell Athletic Senior Club. I would encourage all new members and current members to attend to ensure you have your say in the future of the club. To be discussed on the night…
We all knew already that athletes were away smarter than everyone else … but the Irish Independent confirmed it today … http://www.independent.ie/health/diet-fitness/running-can-help-boost-brain-power-2021454.html. "The study followed two groups of mice, one of which had unlimited access to a running wheel throughout, whey they clocked up an average of 24km a day, while the other mice formed a control group. During the brief training sessions, they were placed in front of a computer screen which displayed two identical squares side by side….
Elverys – Proud Sponsors of the Craughwell 10. One of the top names in Irish sport, Elvery's has put itself firmly behind the Craughwell 10. We are really delighted that such a prestigous Irish-owned company has shown confidence in the race and is lending assistance to us. Did you know that it was established in 1847? Elverys is the oldest sports store in Ireland. It employs over 600 people and is entirely Irish owned. We are all well aware of the…
Having reached 300 a delighted Peter decided to eat out to celebrate Just a warning.. it's nearly time to get off the fence on this one. The entries for the Craughwell 10 have reached 300. We have a hard limit of 500 on the number of entrants – mainly because we don't want to start out too big and have a chance of a mess-up. The gifts, etc have already been ordered for this number so we don't really have…
Peter was rightly thrilled after leading Craughwell to team victory The Tuam AC 8k has become a firm favourite of runners from all around Galway and Mayo and this year it continued to grow. They seemed to have a record attendance – possibly helped by a rare spell of inactivity enforced after the icy spell. Read on for more on this great race.
With the cancellation of the Galway indoors recently, the first opportunity of indoor competition for several of our older athletes came yesterday with the National Junior Indoor Track & Field Championships. Even though it’s an U20 competition, athletes from U17 upwards can participate. The club had its biggest ever participation in this event with 9 athletes taking part – reflecting the progress the club is making in helping athletes develop into hopefully their adult years.
Craughwell AC have great pleasure in hosting their Inaugural 10 mile road race on March 14th and would love you to join us. The race is limited to 500 runners / walkers so register early at runireland.com to avoid disappointment. What better way to start 2010 then with a new challenge, like completing a 10 mile road race. Think it’s too difficult, well think again. The Craughwell Athletic Club has been running a “Fit for Life” program for the last…
Is it better to be an optimist or a pessimist? I think pessimists are happpier in the end since they expect the worst and so don't get disappointed. Due to the flyers and posters going up around the place and also the new year effect, the stream of entries is really picking up. We are getting about 10 a day or more. At current count there are 58 days and roughly 240 places remaining for the race so why not avoid…
