Anthony Bowen wins 4K – Clonmel Athletic Club

The 2^nd race of the O Reilly Total Pharmacy sponsored 4k race took place tonight in ideal conditions. We are very grateful to Barry Horgan for generously sponsoring this year’s series of races. We are also very grateful to the Brothers of Charity for the use of their carpark as Race headquarters. The Club would like to thank the Red Cross for First Aid cover. Thanks also to our many stewards who give of their time freely to ensure that the whole event was well marshalled and organised, such help is very much appreciated by everyone.

To date we have had 114 athletes taking part with 36 of them competing in the two races so far and well on their way to receiving a specially designed Umbrella for any athlete that competes in three out of the first four races of tis year’s series.

The Race format tonight was Luck Dip with prizes awarded to athletes who finished in pre selected finishing positions and tonight’s Lucky winners were: Patrick Bowe 12^th in 15 mins 59 secs, Elaine Horgan 21^st in 17 mins 9 secs, Amy Ruth 45^th in 20 mins 5 secs, Ciara Meehan 48^th in 20 mins 46 secs and Sinead Walshe 76^th in 26 mins 48 secs. Tonight, Barry Horgan once again sponsored a very generous Hamper and after the race we picked a Race Number from a box with all the finishers Race Numbers and the lucky winner was Caoimhe O Farrell, this is her 2^nd time winning the hamper prize, Congrats Caoimhe.

Next week, the race format will be “Predict your Finishing time” , Here you must Predict your Finishing time when Registering for the race and then you must run the 4k without a watch or head phones and we will award prizes to the 6 athletes who finish the nearest to their predicted time.
