This week’s tourist is Karen McKee who travelled the whole way to Donegal to take part in the Narin Beach parkrun at Portnoo. Karen finished in 31:56. This parkrun is run entirely on sand. (Unlike Karen who usually runs entirely on gin). Brendan Behan reportedly spent time swimming here. I have not.

Yesterday, Tom Fleming represented the club at the NI & Ulster Age Group Championships. Tom finished 1st in the U16 Boys 3000m in a time of 9:47.
On the same day, Elaine Kennedy took part in the 26Extreme Mourne Way Event, finishing the half marathon distance in 2:43:41.
Again, on a busy Saturday, it was the turn of Andrew McNevison to represent the club. Andrew was at the NIMRA Cairncastle Classic Fell Race at Ballygally. Andrew completed the 10 mile, 2,200ft elevation course in 1:33:26.
Finally, Stephen Gallagher took part in the Donegal Wild Atlantic Marathon today. This one goes from Killybegs to Glencolmcille beach. Stephen finished in an unofficial time of 3:48:41. Whilst Karen completed the half marathon in 2:03:15.
So this week’s tune is for Stephen and Karen and their big trips to Donegal. I don’t care what Daniel says or sings. This is the greatest song ever written about the place. Fact.
