A belated congratulations to our women’s team who finished in 3rd place at this year’s Cork City Marathon 10k race.

The team of Siobhan Walsh (44:10), Rhona Lynch (45:51), Eileen O’Riordan (48:16), and Orla Gorman (49:21) all produced fantastic sub-50 minute runs

Our men’s team finished in 8th place so the next 12 months will see the women hold the bragging rights

WHAT ARE IRELAND’S FAVOURITE RUNNING SHOES?

We have teamed up with the The Runners Diary on a new Instagram poll that will decide - What are Ireland’s favourite running shoes?

Our All Athletics young members advisory group have drawn up a shortlist of 16 shoes and over the coming days we will be asking you to tell us your favourite.

Note: Our list includes carbon racers, training shoes, easy day cushioned shoes etc. We don’t specify particular versions but rather a shoe line i.e Nike Pegasus rather than Nike Pegasus 40. We understand that comparisons between easy day cushioned shoes and racers can be tricky, just pick the one you most enjoy pulling on.

With thanks to our All Athletics members - Rian, Lucy, Rebecca, Abbie, Timmy and Katie.

Wonderful news coming through about the club’s application to the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme. Carraig na bhFear AC have been awarded €28,635.

Chairperson Willie Walsh had this to say on the breaking news, “Carraig na bhFear Athletic Club are more than delighted with the granting of a sports capital equipment grant of €28,635 that will be used to enhance our onsite facilities at our training grounds. This investment means that our athletes will no longer need to leave their community to access the resources needed to achieve their potential in their chosen events.

We acknowledge the actions of all parties involved in the securing of this grant and see it as future proofing the club, building on our 44 years of serving the community in Carraig na bhFear and further afield.”

Catherine Martin T.D., Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, and Thomas Byrne T.D., Minister of State for Sport, Physical Education and the Gaeltacht, have announced over €26 million in equipment grants under the latest round of the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme (‘SCEP’).

The allocations announced today under the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme are in response to equipment-only applications which sporting organisations submitted. Over 900 sports groups were successful in their applications for various types of equipment which will be of practical benefit to multiple sports organisations, their members and athletes across Ireland.
