The Irish Life Health National Race Walking Championships were held in St. Annes Park Raheny, Dublin on Saturday December 9th. The competitors braved the cold weather as they walked up and down the picturesque tree-lined main avenue in St Anne’s Park.
David Kenny was first in the Junior 10K race walk. David was very impressive to complete the distance in 49mins 3 sec. His mentor & coach, Michael O'Connor competed in the masters 5K race walk. Michael also did very well to win the over 65 category. Well done to you both.
Further afield in Cyprus, Cathal Kirwan took part in the Paphos 10K. Cathal did very well to secure podium position when he was placed in third place of his age category. Great to see images of our club singlet in Cyprus.

Cian Spillane & Shauna McCarthy were our overall Club Juvenile Athletes of the year for their dedication to training all year in which they were both rewarded with National medals.
