Anthony Bowen wins 4K

The 2nd race of the O Reilly Total Pharmacy sponsored 4k race took place tonight in ideal conditions. We are very grateful to Barry Horgan for generously sponsoring this year’s series of races. We are also very grateful to the Brothers of Charity for the use of their carpark as Race headquarters. The Club would like to thank the Red Cross for First Aid cover. Thanks also to our many stewards who give of their time freely to ensure that the whole event was well marshalled and organised, such help is very much appreciated by everyone.

To date we have had 114 athletes taking part with 36 of them competing in the two races so far and well on their way to receiving a specially designed Umbrella for any athlete that competes in three out of the first four races of tis year’s series.

The Race format tonight was Luck Dip with prizes awarded to athletes who finished in pre selected finishing positions and tonight’s Lucky winners were: Patrick Bowe 12th in 15 mins 59 secs, Elaine Horgan 21st in 17 mins 9 secs, Amy Ruth 45th in 20 mins 5 secs, Ciara Meehan 48th in 20 mins 46 secs and Sinead Walshe 76th in 26 mins 48 secs. Tonight, Barry Horgan once again sponsored a very generous Hamper and after the race we picked a Race Number from a box with all the finishers Race Numbers and the lucky winner was Caoimhe O Farrell, this is her 2nd time winning the hamper prize, Congrats Caoimhe.

Next week, the race format will be “Predict your Finishing time” , Here you must Predict your Finishing time when Registering for the race and then you must run the 4k without a watch or head phones and we will award prizes to the 6 athletes who finish the nearest to their predicted time.

Back to tonight’s race and we had a great race up front with four athletes going through halfway together and in the end Anthony Bowen won in 14 mins 23 secs with Conor Ryan 2nd in 14 mins 46 secs and Patrick Roche 3rd in 14 mins 50 secs. The first three women finishers were Anne Marie Boland 18th in 16 mins 55 secs, 2nd was Ali O Connor 19th in 17 mins 7 secs and 3rd Elaine Horgan 21st in 17 mins 9 secs, great performances all round on an ideal night for running.
