Race number 1 in the clubs Michael Roche carpets series for 2016
The 23rd Annual Murray's Pharmacy sponsored Brickey Run was held last Sunday in idea running conditions. The great race organisers and the super weather were contributing factors plus the course and distance this year which revered back to the 5k distance which it seems is the popular choice among runners presently all added to what turned out to be the largest number of participants in the 23 year history of the event, with just shy of 200 runners and another 80 walkers taking part, it was a real community effort by the organisers Glenbeg National School and they are to be congratulated on the effort they put in getting the local community out and about last Sunday. The proceeds from the day's race were donated to the school. It was also great to see and worthy of a mention the various fit4life ,couch to 5k and lets Run groups who targeted this race, they also helped to make the numbers so big this year. All great events need great sponsors and we have been fortunate again this year to have Murray's Pharmacy Dungarvan on board, to proprietor Liz Murray for her kind gesture of sponsoring this event again in 2016 a big thank you, and for also being available on the day to present all the winners with their prizes. At the prize presentation the club chairman Tom Leahy thanked all who helped with the race especially all the stewards under the stewardship of Albert Mc Grath and our own West Waterford AC crew who once again did an excellent job . To P.J.Curran who came along to present the Martin Curran memorial Cup to the men’s winner, and Mrs Netta Lyons who presented the Jim Lyons memorial shield to the first lady home. A special thank you go to the ladies and gents of Glenbeg National school parents committee who looked after the refreshments after the race. Thanks to the Gerry Tobin and the Brickey GAA club for permitting the use of the facilities before and after the race. Thanks also to our great team of registers, timekeepers, recorders, etc. and to all those who put out the race signs. This race was of course race number 1 in the Michael Roche carpets series and were delighted to report that a large proportion of the field of runners signed up for this year series ,if you missed the opportunity to sign on you can do so at the next race in the series the Turkey Trot on Sunday November 27th . See you all back in the Valley next year.
