THE rain didn’t dampen spirits last Sunday as crowds flocked to the third annual Kerins O’Rahillys 10k run. Over 3oo hardy souls took part in the run in memory of Pat Healy, former Chairman of the Kerins O’Rahillys GAA Club, who passed away almost 10 years ago.
The Kerins O’Rahillys Club wished to say a big thank you to the organisers, all the participants and in particular to the U-14 boys who, along with mentors Denis Hanafin and Kieran O’Connor, ran their own 5k as part of their preparations for the season ahead.
Derek Griffin was first home in the Men’s in a time of 34:45, followed shortly after by Sean O’Sullivan (35:00) and Simon Mangan ( 35:42). In the Ladies, Deirdre Nagle was first back with a time of 39:58, with Siobhan Daly next in a time of 41:22 and Suzanne Neilan following closely after her (41:36).
Well-earned refreshments of soup and sandwiches were enjoyed by the participants in the clubhouse afterwards. Scroll down for photos…
