Three club members travelled to Westport over the weekend for the annual Sea 2 Summit adventure race.
Over 2,500 competitors took part in Ireland’s largest adventure race consisting of cycling, running and hiking.
Emma McGee was the only brave club member to take on the Supreme 56k event which included a gruelling climb to the summit of Croagh Patrick.
Once again Emma did it in style, putting in a very impressive performance on the day, finishing 4th woman overall in a time of 3:56:57.
Shaun McDevitt took on the 30k spirit event finishing in 1:52:53, giving him a fantastic 24th overall. Emma’s husband Paddy McGee opted for the shorter spirit course this year finishing in 01:58:02.
Great times for all 24/7 members.
Tollymore Trail Marathon
Colin Dean and Siobhan Gallagher travelled to Co. Down for the Tollymore marathon and half marathon. The events were based within the Tollymore Forest park and the routes followed a series of forest trails.
Colin finished the 26.2mile course, which included 3000ft of climbing in an impressive 3:38. Siobhan completed the 13.1 half marathon course in an excellent time of 1.51.
