Congratulations to Brian Furey who has continued his great form with a 7^th win of the year and set a new record for this 20mile race from Eyre Square to the square in Tuam. Lots of local rivalry for this the biggest looking cup this year!

It was an incredible day at the Berlin marathon with Eluid Kipchoge taking a massive 1min18secs off the world record. But hot on Kipchoge’s heels was Rathfarnham WSAF AC’s Bobby Murphy who took a full 5mins off his PB to finish 53^rd overall and 7^th M35. Congratulations on a fantastic performance Bobby, but we suspect that there is more to come!  The only other Rathfarnham WSAF AC athlete was Micheál Murphy who is targeting DCM but still ran a speedy 3:17 long tempo in Berlin!

Congratulations to Paul Moran who won a Bronze medal on the Irish M55 half marathon team at the World Masters athletics Championships in Malaga. He just missed out on an individual medal, coming 4^th overall in a super time of 78:28. Congrats Paul, building nicely!

We had three Rathfarnham WSAF athletes competing in the 2018 World Mountain Running Championships in Andorra. Two thirds of the senior Irish team was from Rathfarnham WSAF AC.  The course was a brutal 11km, mostly vertical, up to the finish line in the thin air at 2450m. Our own Mark Ryan and Eoin Flynn finished 50^th and 51^st respectively with Zach Hannan in 47^th making up the Irish team. 

Ruairi Long was 44^th in the Junior mens race and on the Irish team that finished 11th overall.

Well done to the Irish team and congratulations to Mark,Eoin and Ruairi on yet more Irish Caps!
