Race report from Clonmel AC.........The Clogheen 5k road race took place last night in ideal conditions which attracted a record entry of 195 athletes. 

Right from the start, there was a breakaway group of five athletes...Kevin Moore of Dundrum along with the Clonmel AC quartet of Niall McCormack, Davis Ryan and the Maunsell brothers William and Kevin. The pace was strong and the lead changed a number of times as the athletes reached the first mile in 5 mins 6 secs. Then Kevin Maunsell went to the front and increased the tempo with only Niall McCormack going with him and these two reached two miles in 9 mins 56 secs. At this stages Niall picked up the pace and on the return journey along the Ballylooby road he put in a 4 min 45 secs mile to open a good lead, a lead he held all the way to the line to win in a brilliant time of 15 mins 18 secs, just 18 secs outside the course record held by Gerry Ryan of Galway City Harriers in 2009 and the 5th fastest time ever over this course, brilliant running.

Tipperary...Results of the Clogheen 5 km road race - Thurs 1st Aug 2013

This years Clogheen 5 km road race in Tipperary attracted a large field of 152 entrants despite the damp conditions.

Race report from the organisers Clonmel AC...
The Clogheen 5k road race attracted a brilliant entry of 152 athletes despite the very bad weather before and during the race. Over the years this race has grown in stature and a testament of its popularity is that this year's entries were the 2nd highest even despite the bad weather and the number of other races in the vicinity. There was a minute silence in respect of Joe Grinsell who died so sudden recently.

The race started and despite the bad weather competition was very keen with David Ryan of Clonmel and the eventual winner Tony Fogarty of Thurles Crokes matching stride for stride all the way around the route. They were still together as they entered the village and in a hectic battle for the line Tony Fogarty went clear to win a great race. Great to see Tony back competing very well again and this win will surely spur him on to more wins. Then we had Patrick Hughes of Thurles 3rd with Stewart Moloney of Moore Abbey Milers 4th and Shane Mullaney of Thurles Crokes 5th. 

In the Ladies race Dymphna Ryan of Dundrum went clear in the early stages to come home a very worthy winner from Claire Anna of Carrick on Suir and Angela McCann of Clonmel.

From the organisers...Clonmel AC...
This very popular race takes place this Thursday night at 8pm. Last year we had a record entry of 142 athletes that included a good number of walkers. The Entry fee is 10 Euros and there will be prizes in all the usual; categories as well as spot prizes for both joggers and walkers. There will be post race refreshments as well. Entries will be taken at the Community Hall from 6.30pm onwards. The course is good with a slight uphill on the way out of Clogheen along the Clonmel road and as you take the first turn off. The course then levels out and the last 3k is flat and downhill all the way to the finish, so a good course to achieve your PB for 2013.

The Course records stands at 15 mins for the men set by Gerry Ryan of Loughrea in 2009 while Siobhain O Doherty of Borrisokane holds the Women's record set in 2007 of 17 mins 51 secs.
