CHARLEVILLE HALF MARATHON
The Charleville Half Marathon was held on Sunday, September 10 in humid conditions. It is an extremely popular race that is hosted by North Cork AC. We had 9 athletes compete over the long distance of 21km. First home for the club and continuing his great form was John Ryan 1:22:32, he was closely followed Tom O'Connell 1:22:43, Linda Grogan 1:28:50, Gerry O'Neill 1:29:01, Barry Hartnett 1:31:49, Michael Moore 1:38:13, Karen Coughlan 1:38:47, John Barry 1:44:22 and Pat Hayes 2:18:55. Great to see so many of the club taking on this half marathon.
