Weekend of Racing..

Firstly Congratulations to the boys and girls who competed in the All Ireland Schools Crosscountry in Galway and to our athletes and their coaches who competed in the Connacht Indoors on Sunday last, a long day was had by all but they represented their club and county with pride.
The 39th South Sligo 10K takes place this Saturday on its traditional St.Patricks Day Slot.
This is the first Road Race of the Sligo League for 2012 and is always a nice spring test of form for athletes both local and from surrounding counties.
The Race starts at 12.30pm and entry fee is €10.
Last year 160 entries competed and the race was won in a time of 32.50 by Roger Barrett of Ballina AC.
This Year there is also a Walk of 8K and proceeds are going towards the cost of developing a new South Sligo community park.This Walk starts at 11.30am.

Best wishes to those running in the Craughwell 10 mile Road Race on Sunday. Also don't forget "An evening with endurance coach Chris Jones" next Tuesday the 20th March at 8.30pm in The Southern Hotel Sligo.
Happy Running from all in Sligo AC.
