This very popular fixture on the running calendar takes place on Sunday 13th May at 10.50am. this year we are once again delighted to have Tipperary Water as our sponsors. 

This year’s event will have the same route as last year, which received great reviews, with the start at the carpark at the back of the Clonmel Arms Hotel on the Quay and the finish will be at the Sporting Press on the Davis Road.

The entry fee is 12 Euros and this year we have designed a special medallion for this event. For this event please note that there are Road Closures in place and we appreciate the cooperation of the public, especially in the Irishtown area.

Report from Clonmel AC......Barlo Motor Group Race 2 report...Near record entry at 4K race

The 2nd race of the Barlo Motor Group 4K series took place on the 20th of January in reasonably good conditions and there were 193 athletes competing, which is brilliant. The record entry at the moment stands at 198 set on the 5th November 2014 while the 12th November 2014 equals last night's entry. 

It is brilliant to see such an entry as this series of races caters for all levels of fitness. The main thing is to train at your own pace and also run at your own pace and we saw last night athletes making great progress on all levels right throughout the race. Looking at the results, please note that we allocated your place on your finishing time and please take into account that we had a staggered start with Group One athletes going off at zero seconds, Group Two going off at minus 28 secs and Group Three going off at minus 48 secs. 

It was great last night to see everyone wearing a High Viz, No High Viz No Run is our Rule for your Safety. Please note that we will start the race at 7pm each night so allow time to register, so come as early as possible.

Last night's race Format was Lucky Dip and here we had Pre Selected Finishing positions drawn before the race and the lucky winners were Liam Morrissey, Bobby Jarabek, Vincent McHugh, Adrian Lonergan, Liam Cooney, Michelle Lonergan, Shane Jackson, Siobhan Roche, Tracey Gibson, Norma Sorohan, Claire Wilkinson and Helen Gillman. Jason Burke was the Lucky winner of the use of a New car from our sponsors, Barlo Motor group for the week.

In last night's race the top 3 men finishers were Jimmy Boland in 14 mins 2 secs, Colm Ryan 14 mins 35 secs and Michael J Ryan 14 mins 49 secs. The top 3 women finishers were Clare Annan 15 mins 18 secs, 2nd was Aine Roche in 16 mins 8 secs and 3rd Linda Grogan in 16 mins 37 secs.

The Club would like to thank the Brothers of Charity for the use of their car park as race Headquarters and the Civil Defence for looking after First Aid. The Club would also like to thank our many stewards who helped at taking entries and ensuring the route was safe for all the participants. 

The Club has also decided to award kms to anyone on a team that helps with taking entries, stewarding at the following events, our 4k races, our 6k races, the Annerville 10K, the Boston Scientific Half Marathon and our St Stephen's Day 4 miler. We are finding it increasingly hard to get stewards for our events and without our stewards these events couldn't take place. So hopefully this new initiative will encourage athletes to give us a helping hand at any of the above mentioned events. To qualify you must let us know a week in advance of such help, coming along on the day or night of the event and offering help won't do.

Report from Clonmel AC......The first race saw the start of the eagerly awaited Barlo Motor group 4K series. Conditions were very good for running - dry and cold. The start was delayed a while due to the huge numbers that entered on the night...170 in total, brilliant to see them all running so well. Well done to all our stewards who ensured that the route was safe for all participants and thanks to the Civil Defence for looking at the First Aid. The Club would also like to thank the Brothers of Charity for the use of their car park as the Race Headquarters.

Tonight's race was the launch of the Club's 500K team Challenge sponsored by The South Tipp Physio and it was great to see team members competing and clocking up their Kms already. It is worth noting that anyone who runs in this series of races and any other races before the end of February and who joins a team before the end of February will have these kms allotted to their total, so keep on running and start thinking about organising teams. We will also help athletes to form teams if they submit their names but the real fun in this Challenge to form a team among your friends and work mates and the banter throughout the year will be great.

Week 1 car winner in our 4k series Melissa McCarthy collecting a Hyundai Tucson from Paul Lyttleton of Barlo Motor Group. Happy driving Melissa!

After a successful 6k race series last Spring, Clonmel Athletic Club are holding another 6k series in April of 2015 with Morrison BMW of Cahir coming on board as the main sponsor.

Morrison BMW Clonmel AC 6k Inter Firm Road Race Series...

From Clonmel AC....The Club is once again promoting the Morrison BMW Clonmel AC 6k Inter Firm Road Race Series. The Club would like to thank Morrison Motors and especially Gary Morrison for their very generous sponsorship.

The races gets under way next Wednesday 25th March at 6.15pm with a practice run over the route while the event itself gets underway on Wednesday 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd of April at 7pm each night. The entry fee for these 5 races is only €15 per person! Reminder Athletes MUST wear a high viz bib/ jacket to take part in the practice run.

This event is ideal for you to get your friends and organise a team, up to 5 members, Men or Women or a combination, with the best three times (closest to their predictions) each night that will count. Each night you will be asked to predict your finishing time and it can be whatever you want to run that night, you set your own target time.

If you can't make up a team of five, just submit your name and we will put you on a team relative to your level of fitness and for this event, it is great fun to be on a team, it adds to the whole event. So anyone who can't form a team, just submit your names to Niall at niallfosullivan1@eircom.net and the organising committee will make up teams for all the individuals that enter, based on their level of fitness. Deadline for team entries is Friday 27th March.

This series of races is all about you, the athlete, predicting what time you can run the 6k in and then go as close as possible to matching that without the aid of a watch or headphones. Here the athlete decides what pace they want to run this distance in and it is not about having to be better than another athlete. Here you can and should run at a pace you are capable of running comfortably with.

From Clonmel AC.......The 5th race of the Clonmel AC 4k series, sponsored by the Barlo Motor Group took place in ideal conditions for running. Once again we had a very good entry of 122 athletes so far this series of races has attracted 228 athletes. Many of these athletes were competing in this series for the very first time and it was great to see the progress many of them have made over the 5 races to date. We have one more race of this series to go and that is next Wednesday night when the race will be run in aid of the Lourdes Pilgrimage Trust, a very worthy charity that takes approx 500 children with special needs to Lourdes for a week at Easter. So all monies donated at next Wednesday night’s race will go to this very worthy cause. It costs approx 1000 Euros to bring a child on this trip every year, so all monies collected will be deeply appreciated by this Trust.

Back to the race and the first three men were Joey Feery in 14 mins 23 secs, Declan Curley 14 mins 58 secs and Keith O Brien in 14 mins 58 secs. The top three women were Aine Roche 15 mins 52 secs, Siobhan McHugh 16 mins 9 secs and Yvonne O Connor 17 mins 23 secs. The results are based on your Chip time that is the time from when the athlete starts under the gantry to the time that they finished under the gantry. I see a few athletes started down the field at the start and then put in a great effort to pass as many athletes as possible and so it is their net time (Chip Time) that counts. The results also show the split times for each lap and it is rounded up to the nearest second. Once again, it was an ideal night for running and it was great to see many athletes improve on their PBs.

Once again we are very grateful to the Barlo Motor Group for sponsoring this year’s series and the grand prize of driving a new car for a week. We are also very grateful to the Brothers of Charity for the use of their carpark as race headquarters and to all the stewards who ensured that the whole event was a brilliant success.

Race report from Clonmel AC......Boston Scientific Half Marathon race report
Philip Harty wins Boston Scientific Half Marathon convincingly
The 5th running of the Boston Scientific Half marathon took place last Sunday in very good conditions with the race attracting a record of 547 finishers. Right from the start a small group dictated the pace that included Raivis Zakis (West Waterford), the defending winner Colin Merritt (Cork), David Ryan (Clonmel) and the eventual winner Philip Harty (West Waterford). This group were still together at 3 miles and then on the run to the 6 mile mark Philip Harty increased the pace and soon put daylight between himself and the rest of the field with a great display of front running. Philip maintained this pace all the way along the Wood road and all the way down the Bypass he was full of running to come home a very convincing winner in 70 mins 14 secs, a brilliant performance and just two secs off the course record set by David McCarthy in 2012 of 70 mins 12 secs. He becomes the 3rd West Waterford athlete to win this event in the past 5 years. 

In the Master categories the winners were: 1st over 40 Colin Merritt (Cork) in 72:21 with David Ryan (Clonmel) 2nd in 76:43. Ken Devine (St Finbarr’s) was 1st 0/45 in 79:26 with Anthony O Brien (Leamlara) 2nd in 80:36. Bernard Feery (Fethard) was 1st over 50 in 86:37 with Liam Kavanagh (West Waterford) 2nd in 90:51. Tommy Halpin (Ballynonty) was 1st over 55 in 85:15 with Larry Kennedy (Waterford A C) 2nd in 91:16. 

In the Ladies race we also had a very competitive event with Emma Murphy (St Finbarr’s) running very well to win in 81 mins 25 secs when 18th overall. Madeline Loughnane (Thurles Crokes) also ran very well when 2nd woman in 84 mins 29 secs. Then we had our own Angela McCann running another great race when 3rd woman in 86:16. Teresa Aga (St Abban’s) also ran very well when 4th woman in 88:27 with Sally Forrestal 5th woman in 88:34. 

The 1st woman over 35 was Sharon Woods (Mallow) in 93:30 with Suzanne Shine Clonmel 2nd in 96:56.The 1st woman over 40 was Gillian Cotter (Cork) with Siobhain McHugh (Clonmel) 2nd in 91:39. The 1st Woman over 45 was Jacinta Brazil (Waterford A C) in 95:06 with Martina Ryan (Thurles Crokes) 2nd in 96:14.The 1st woman over 50 was Mary Mulcahy (St Finbarr’s) with 2nd in 109:02 with Anne Dwyer (Limerick) 111:52. 

This year’s event proved our most successful venture ever with over 540 athletes participating and it was great to see so many finishing in good spirits and many well able to put in a final surge up the finishing straight. Organising such a massive event entailed a lot of hard work and the Club is indebted to everyone who helped in any way to make this event such a success. We received brilliant assistance from both the Gardai and the Civil Defence who along with our 100 stewards ensured that the whole event was well managed. Thanks to everyone who helped especially all our Ladies who made sure that there was plenty of Post race refreshments for everyone and well down to all our catering Staff who ensured everyone were well catered for. The Club would also like to thank our main sponsors, Boston Scientific for all their help and assistance. Also thanks to our other sponsors like Glanbia, Powerade, River Rock, Stable Diet, Tipperary Spring Water, Barlo Motors and the Borough Council. 

The Club is also indebted to the LIT Campus Clonmel for the use of their fabulous facilities for our Race Headquarters and to Terence Feenan who gave us such great help and assistance. We would also like to thank Clonmel Og for the Toilet and Showers facilities which were very much appreciated by everyone and to Maher Plant Hire for the use of the generator at such short notice. Our sincere thanks to Fran Mulcahy and her colleagues at South Tipperary Physio Clinic they were busy after the race and we thank them for their assistance. The Club is also indebted to Clonmel Waste who gave us tremendous help and assistance in clearing up all the Recycling rubbish after such an event.
