It was an exceptionally busy long weekend on the road race front, including both the BHAA K-Club 10k and the Leinster 10 Mile Road Championships amongst many races taking place.

There was a superb win for Rossa Hurley against a high-quality field at the BHAA K-Club 10k in Straffan (which was 150 metres too long!) in 32.30. This was a target race for the men’s squad so there was a big representation from the club. In there too was Anthony Flannery (33.40), Seán Fox (1st M40 – 34:25), Des Tremble 34.51 (1st 45), Gavin Keogh (35:23), Philip Hennessy (2nd M45 – 35.28), Jonathan Farrell (37.21), Paul Cummins (37.26), Alan Farrell (37.39), Michael Edward O’Connor (39.24), Stephen Dawson (40.31), Craig Scott (43.02), Ian Redican (43.12), and Joe Murphy (43.54). Sinéad Lambe was the 3rd lady in 38.01 and we had Cliodhna Carty 47.01 and Michelle Dawson 54.52. Full results at: https://bhaa.ie/race/kclub-10km-2018/
