Results & Photos of the 2010 Dublin City Marathon
Conditions for the 2010 Dublin City Marathon were perfect with cool temperatures, blue skies and constant sunshine. There was a record entry for this year's event and there were plenty of faces from Cork in the race and out along the course. As an occasion, the Dublin City Marathon is truely the National Marathon with runners from all corners of Ireland taking part. It has a unique atmosphere that isn't found in any other Irish Marathon.
This year, I ran the Marathon from the unique perspective as one of the 3:45 pacers. One suprising aspect was the sheer number of runners on the road. I thought perhaps in the later stages, the road out ahead might clear a bit but it never did. The road was constantly full and at times, it got pretty congested when the route got narrow.
Results.....if you haven't seen them, you can check your times on the Dublin City Marathon website.

Tipperary...Dundrum Athletic Club 50th Anniversary Celebrations
The club is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and as part of the celebrations the club will be holding a function in Dundrum House Hotel on Saturday the 9th of October at 8:30 pm .
It is hoped to get as many athletes and members from the early years of the club present on the night as possible, along with present members and people from other clubs. If anybody has any photos from the 1960/1970 era could they give them in advance to club members for display on the night.
The evening will consist of a talk on the history of the club followed by a finger buffet and to round off the night music by local band After Hours.
Tickets are available from club members (and on the door) at a cost of 10 euro each.
