Well done to all who took part in the Bog Run. 120 people lined up at the starting line at 2 pm. The first home was Peter Breen in a time of 22.04 and hot on his heels was Matt Stafford with Shane Gahan following close by. First home for the women was Georgina Whelan in a time of 29.08 and close by was Ruth Walsh with a close finish for third between Orla Stafford and Orla Gahan. The leaders race was won by Knocknaskeaugh with Peter Breen running for Mick Sweeney, followed by Niall O Loughling representing Carrigeen/Ballycarrigeen and third was Declan Kelly for the Boolavogue Team.

A great crowd of children had fun on the small course set up especially for them. It was great to see them training for the future of our bog run.

A hugh thank you to Jim & Josie Gahan, Ted Nolan and Danny Murphy for the use of their land as without this land the bog run would not take place. Also to the stewards, photographers, Brigdet Sinnott for First Aid and to all those who helped in setting up the course. Without all your help this event could not take place.

We now look forward to our cycle on Valentine’s Day starting at 2pm at the GAA Complex.
