Well done to Club athletes Mark Ryan, Kevin Keane Donna Mahon and Michael Treacy who competed for Ireland in the 25th World Mountain Running Championships near Madesimo in Northern Italy.

Mark Ryan finishing in 86th (64:54) & Kevin Keane finishing in 108th (68:33). Donna Mahon ran bravely in the womens race and finished 45th (50:40). The Irish team finished 8th overall out of 14 countries. The team placing was our first top ten finish since 1991. Michael Treacy had a storming run in the Junior Mens race to finish 43rd (44:48).
