News update....

A big well done to Sligo AC's Killian O'Connor who has just won the European Mountain Running trials in Wicklow, he will now go forward to the Europeans in Turkey next month. Well done Killian!!. Well done to all Sligo AC's athletes who competed in the annual maugherow 10K last Saturday evening, again there was a great turn out for this well established race in the beautiful surroundings of Raughely Harbour, the sun was shining and the race for positions was just as hot, well done again. The Sligo AC stars of the future were on show again last Saturday in the Connaught finals held in Galway, in very warm conditions each and every one performed to a very high standard and the future of Sligo AC looks very bright indeed, a big thank you to the coaches for getting the Kid's to this stage and also to the Parents for travelling to see their stars shine... While you are trying to convince yourself to go out for a leisurely run but are thinking of how tired you are spare a thought for one of our friends from the Sligo Triathlon Club Sligo's very own David Downes who has just completed a double Iron man Triathlon in England last weekend, David completed this endurance event in a remarkable time of 39 hours and yes I have printed 39 hours, so a massive well done to you David and you truely are an Enduraman.. There is also a number of events coming up this coming weekend which a number of our club colleagues are participating in, so best of luck to all in the Mullaghmore triathlon, and also in the Sligo Champion Streets of Sligo 5K, Give you best and above all enjoy it...
