Limavady Parkrun
Congratulations to Michelle Comer who took part in her 9thLimavady Parkrun today. Michelle finished in a super time of 28:04. Well done Michelle!
Omagh Parkrun
Kerry Archibald continued her streak of double run Saturdays last weekend with her first run being Omagh Parkrun, finishing in just 27:17, despite not being 100% fit. However this did not stop Kerry heading on over to the Christian Brothers 10K to finish as our first Termoneeny runner home. Well done Kerry you’re made of strong stuff! Feel better soon.
Thanks to all the wonder volunteers who give up their time at the various Parkruns across the country. Please consider volunteering at your local Parkrun.
Omagh CBS 5K/10K
Undeterred by the prospect of storm Ciara, 5 TRC runners took part in Saturday morning’s CBS Omagh 5k/10k. These were both challenging courses with hills and long climbs to overcome. Thankfully, and somewhat unexpectedly the sun shone, but the wind was head on at times making running conditions difficult, but everyone ran a super race!

Irish XC Championships, Co. Wicklow
Tommy Hughes wins his first XC O60 title in County Wicklow! Tommy made the 380 mile round trip to Avondale Forest Park, Rathdrum on Saturday, despite suffering from a recent head cold and we are delighted for Tommy on his win! Tommy will be the first to admit that XC is not his forte but some people may beg to differ after this result!
On Saturday 1st February Denise Martin and her daughter Leona took part in the hugely popular Born 2 Run, Run Forest Run Series. This event, the 7th and undoubtedly one of the most popular in the series, took place at the beautiful Antrim Castle Gardens, taking in the ruins of Shanes Castle with spectacular views of Lough Neagh. We are delighted to see Denise out racing again this year and congratulate her and Leona on their results:
Leona Martin : 28:16
