Just over 300 athletes turned up in Monivea on Saturday morning for the Athenry AC Half Marathon and 5km. Numbers were almost double the 2016 figure for the 5km and down by around 30 for the half. The weather was on our side but didn't favour those running the longer distance. It was hot and draining. The Athenry women secured 2 of the 3 podium places in the half marathon. Jane Ann Meehan was first to cross the line for the 4th consecutive year, with Yvonne Fehily taking second place. The women also secured 2 podium places in the 5km as Maggie Vahey and Tammy Corrigan finished 2nd and 3rd respectfully. Fergal Walsh won the men's 5km clocking 17:27. Others running from the club include 5km - Ronan 'Speedy' McCarthy, Enda Munnelly, Sinead Gannon, Cathal Duffy, Aoife Tuohy, Caroline McLoughlin, Mairead Tarpey, Etain Wilson, Stephanie McDonagh.
