Club Race Report – 6th November 2022

Not surprisingly, it was a quieter week after all the fun of Dublin last week. Blisters and hangovers being nursed all across Mallusk.

In this quieter week, our elites (Juniors) took the spotlight with some great performances at the Uneven Age Groups XC Championships at Finn Valley Centre in Stranorlar, Donegal.

Boys U17:

Tom Fleming 13:57 and 7th place

Boys U19:

Adam McCann 23:29

Micky McAuley also continued his off road racing with a 35:19 result in the NIMRA Run for Rescue race at Donard Park.

Yesterday also saw the latest Run Forest Run event in the Born 2 Run series. This one was at Minnowburn:

10k:

And Obviously Dermot Boyd 1:08:29, Lauren Penman 1:08:42

So this week’s tune is for our juniors. Yes, it is a tenuous link. And, yes, I’m sure the juniors have never heard of this. But they’re still young. They can learn.

Until next week, behave.
