Report from Clonmel AC....Great start to the Morrison BMW Cahir 6K Road Race Series
The first race of the Morrison BMW Cahir 6K road race series took place in ideal running conditions and it was great to see 254 athletes competing, just short of the record of 266 competitors set in 2014. Looking down through the entries, there are many athletes who are not on teams. If they want to go on a team they can contact Niall at niallfosullivan1 AT eircom DOT net and we will put them on teams for the 6k series. The closing date for teams and individuals has been extended to Sunday 27th March. Just send in the name of the team and the names of the team members and payment can be made on race night. The Race Headquarters for the 6K series is Colaiste Cheitinn, the Mall. Teams can collect their numbers here when they come to register their predicted time for the distance each night.
