Dublin Marathon
This weekend saw 19,500 participants take to the streets of Dublin for the 2016 SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon. 24/7 was well represented once again in the Capital and each and every runner represented the club well.
Peter O’Donnell was first club member home breaking the elusive three-hour barrier in a hugely impressive time of 02:56:17, giving him a respectable 23rd in his category. David Harvey was next with a PB of 03:04:04. Michael Black making a welcome return to racing, finished in a time of 03:07:39.
[adrotate group=”38″]The club had five more members breaking the three and a half hour mark- Clint Doherty, Philip Browne, Adrian Callaghan, Martin Donnelly and Seamus Morisson all with very credible times.
Marathon Debutants Eugene Mc Gettigan and Stephen Robinson performed brilliantly finishing in 03:36:33 and 03:38:18 respectively.
Evelyn Boyle was first club woman home and managed to knock 11minutes off her PB finishing in a time of 03:40:21 with Fin Begley just behind her in 03:42:46. Catherine Regan, in her first marathon outing finished in a brilliant sub four-hour time of 03:58:05.
Jarlath Duffy finished in 04:02:43 while Paul McNulty, 04:27:10, Graham Parker, 04:27:34, and Paul Kelly, 04:29:38 all finished within the 4:30 mark. Cathy Harvey finished with a PB in 04:37:49, all the more impressive considering she is recovering from breaking her foot just 8 weeks ago.
Congratulations to all Club members on their marathon achievements, you should all be very proud.
