Tipperary...Results of the Cahir Run4Fun 4 mile road race - Wed 30th Apr 2014
Another huge turnout for a race in Tipp with over 400 taking part in the Cahir 4 mile Run4Run race.

2 Danny Smith Ballynonty A C Senior Men 21:16
3 Jimmy Boland Clonmel A C Senior Men 21:54
15 Dymphna Ryan Dundrum A C Senior Ladies 23:57
21 Carmel Fitzgibbon Thurles Crokes Senior Ladies 24:32
28 Angela McCann Clonmel A C Ladies over 35 24:53
Race report from Clonmel AC...The Morrison BMW sponsored RUN4FUN took place last night in over cast but dry conditions and this event was promoted by Clonmel Athletic Club. Once again this event had a fantastic entry of 436 athletes while last year's event attracted an entry of 458. With the entry for both events very similar it is interesting to look at the statistics. In last year's race we had 306 Women competing while this year's figure was 264. Last year we had 152 Men competing this year we had 172. This year's event saw a massive growth in the Ladies over 35 going up from 69 last year to 173 this year. In the Master Men we had 59 last year compared to 78 this year.
Also looking at the performances it is great to report that we have major progress. This year we had 105 athletes running faster than 30 minutes compared to 75 last year. This year we had 289 athletes running faster than 40 mins while last year it was 240. This year we had 353 athletes running faster than 50 mins compared to 296 last year while this year we had 384 athletes under 60 minutes compared to 352 athletes last year. We must take into account that it was a lot warmer last year than this year but still to see such a progression.
Back to the event, once again it was brilliantly marshalled throughout the route with the help of the Gardai and the many stewards with the Civil Defence covering the First Aid. Gary Morrison of Morrison BMW thanked everyone who helped in any way to make this event such a success and it was brilliant to raise funds for such a very worthy cause, Make a Wish Foundation.
In the race itself we had David Ryan of Clonmel who was 2nd last year, going one better this year to win in 20 mins 59 secs with Danny Smith (Ballynonty) 2nd in 21 mins 16 secs. The Master Men's awards were won by Declan Curley (Clonmel) 22 mins 18 secs and Derek Nolan (Clonmel) 23 mins 25 secs. In the Ladies race Dymphna Ryan (Dundrum) won a great race in 23 mins 57 secs with Carmel Fitzgibbon (Thurles Crokes) 2nd in 24 mins 32 secs while the Master Ladies awards were won by Angela McCann (Clonmel) 24 mins 53 secs and Catherine Rice (Clonmel) 26 mins 49 secs.
The Prize winning format in this race also saw a Prize been presented to one in every 12 athletes that past the finishing line right throughout the field. This was decided before the race started where pre determined finishing positions were selected. Here the Lucky winners won prizes ranging from 100 Euros to 30 Euros and this part of the Presentation of the Prizes was a brilliant success as every recipient was cheered to the rafters. The lucky winners were: Niall O Ceallaigh, James Denn, Paul Bowe, Brendan Kinnane, Jareb Lakis, Erno Kis-Kirulg, Yvonne O Conner, Adam O Dwyer, Orla Durand, Melissa Condon, Alan David, Pat Doheny, Greg Kecik, Brian McDonald, Katy O Reilly, Marie O Brien, Sabrina Hickey, Ashling O Hara, Jamie Walsh, Clare Walsh, Lena Griffin, Elaine Egan, Elana Rial, John Murphy, Sandra Upite, Cathy Fitzgerald, Cathy Mansfield, Monica Butler, Bridget Quirke, Cathy Bailey, May Byrne, Ann Burke, Mary McCarthy, Tom Regan and Joanne Nugent.
The Post Race refreshments was well appreciated by everyone and again hats off to the catering team.

Report from the oganisers...Carrick Road Runners AC...
The 2014 OutfieldSports.ie Three Counties Challenge got off to the perfect start on Friday evening last in the beautiful village of Faugheen when 168 runners lined up for the second annual Bobby Fitzgerald Accounting 5k road race. This series, now in its eighth year, takes in races over distances from 5k to 10k in the three neighbouring counties of Tipperary, Waterford and Kilkenny. The forecast heavy rain held off for the race and runners made the most of the perfect conditions on a very flat, fast course with many personal best times being set.
As the field entered the village for the first time after about 1.5 km, Sergiu Ciobanu (Clonliffe Harriers) and Niall Sheil (St. Killians) had already moved to the front and the Clonliffe athlete pulled clear over the second half of the race for a clear-cut victory. Sergiu's winning time of 15:02 was a new course record, eclipsing the 15:17 set by Sandis Bralitis in last year's inaugural Faugheen 5k. Niall Sheil ran very well to take second place in 15:35 and Stuart Maloney (Moore Abbey Milers) took third prize in 15:55. Carrick AC's first finisher was Pat O' Sullivan whose fifteenth place finish in 17:04 earned him first prize in the O/45 category.

Tipperary...Results of the Clonmel 6k road race - Wed 23rd Apr 2014
The was the final race of the Clonmel 6k series and 270 runners took part, a jump of 8% on last years figure of 249 for the last race.
Report from Clonmel AC...... The Morrison BMW Cahir sponsored 6K road race series finished on a high last Wednesday night when 270 athletes competed in the 5th race of the series, the Lucky Dip format. Conditions were ideal with many athletes running PBs for the distance, a great way to end the series. Athletes running faster on the final night is always a sign of progress. In this race athletes were able to wear their watches. Maybe that was the reason for the fast times?
The athletes who won prizes on the night were Nigel O Flaherty, Aine Roche, Barry Horgan, Michael Freaney, Eamon Murphy, Emma Durand, Anna Byrne, Brendan Coffey, Aline Neumerzhitskaya, Yvonne O Connor, Kevin O Meara, Anne Marie Ryan, David O Mahoney, Daniel Costello, Anne Marie O Byrne and Karen Pollard. We would like to thank Lifestyles and Phoenix B for sponsoring some of these prizes.
This year's series was our best ever since we started this series of races back in 1982. The purpose of starting this series is as relevant today as it was back then. That aim was to introduce adults to running. At that time we had a very strong Juvenile element in the club while the Senior side of the Club was struggling for numbers. It's great to see the progress that this series has made over the past few years. In 2009, we had 187 athletes that competed in at least one race of the series while in 2014, we had 417 athletes who competed in at least one race. This showed that there was very little fall off each night. That can be seen in the very high number of teams who got a squad out each night and we had very few incomplete teams out of the 80 teams that competed in the team event.
The breakdown this year of entries was..........266 (practise run), 354 (1st race), 350 (2nd race), 325 (3rd race) and 270 (4th race) for the five events. This year the gender break down was 237 Men and 180 Women (43.2%). In 2009 we had 143 Men and 44 Women (23.5%) competing.
The presentation of prizes took place in the Post House and the club would like to thank Donal Daly and his staff for all their help in making the night a great occasion..for providing the Post Race refreshments and the Live Music. The club chairman, Frank Lynch also thanked our Sponsors, Morrison BMW Cahir for all their support. He also thanked the Gardai and the Civil Defence and the many club stewards that ensured the whole series of races went off smoothly. Gary Morrison of behalf of the Sponsors praised the Club for promoting a very successful series of races and they were delighted to be associated with this event and it was great to see it going from strength to strength.
The next race on the Club's calendar is the RUN4Fun in Cahir on Wednesday 30th April at 7.30pm and this event is also being sponsored by Morrison BMW Cahir for a very worthy cause Make a Wish Foundation. Entries will be taken at the Morrison BMW premises from 6 o clock onwards.

Report from Clonmel AC...... The Morrison BMW Cahir sponsored 6K road race series finished on a high last Wednesday night when 270 athletes competed in the 5th race of the series, the Lucky Dip format. Conditions were ideal with many athletes running PBs for the distance, a great way to end the series. Athletes running faster on the final night is always a sign of progress. In this race athletes were able to wear their watches. Maybe that was the reason for the fast times?
The athletes who won prizes on the night were Nigel O Flaherty, Aine Roche, Barry Horgan, Michael Freaney, Eamon Murphy, Emma Durand, Anna Byrne, Brendan Coffey, Aline Neumerzhitskaya, Yvonne O Connor, Kevin O Meara, Anne Marie Ryan, David O Mahoney, Daniel Costello, Anne Marie O Byrne and Karen Pollard. We would like to thank Lifestyles and Phoenix B for sponsoring some of these prizes.
This year's series was our best ever since we started this series of races back in 1982. The purpose of starting this series is as relevant today as it was back then. That aim was to introduce adults to running. At that time we had a very strong Juvenile element in the club while the Senior side of the Club was struggling for numbers. It's great to see the progress that this series has made over the past few years.

Tipperary notice...Faugheen 5k road race - Fri 25th Apr 2014
The Eight Annual 3 Counties Challenge gets underway on Friday, the 25th of April with the Faugheen 5k road race...a nice flat and fast 5k course in a rural setting.
Directions.......Faugheen is a very small village located to the North of the town of Carrick-on-Suir in S.Tipperary. It is located less than a mile off the R697 road which goes from Carrick-on-Suir to Kilkenny.
If you arrive in Carrick-on-Suir then follow the N24 road. In the centre of the town at the Garda station, take the R697 north. This will be signposted for Kilmaganny.
Keep the park on your right hand side. You then need to take the left at this junction below. Again, it's signposted for Kilmaganny.
From the junction above, it's 3.3 miles / 5.3 kms to the tun off for Faugheen. Look for the left hand turn which is on a wide sweeping bend to the right...
From here, it's about 1 km to Faugheen. Follow the directions for parking.
Entries on the night will be taken at the parish hall which is located next to the church...
Course....The race route is in the shape of a triangle. This is the same route as used by the famous Faugheen 50 Motor bike circuit...
As you can see from the map above, it's basically 1.5 loops of a circuit which is just over two miles in length. The start line is located about 0.9 miles from the village itself, ideal as part of the warm up for the race itself.
A full preview of the course with directions and photos can be seen HERE
Post race refreshments and prize giving at Flemings Pub...
More info from the organisers Carrick Road Runners AC...Carrick on Suir A.C.’s Outfieldsports.ie 3 Counties Challenge has firmly established itself in the South East running calendar since its inception in 2007, with the series growing from a single race with 100 runners to last year’s successful 5 race series with close on a thousand participants.

This flat course will be held on the famous Faugheen 50 Motor bike circuit in the pretty Tipperary village, and is quickly become a runner’s favourite due to its flat, fast course .
