Run Group achieves targets
Posted by Ciaran Tobin on 22 October 2019
The Longwood running group meets up midweek at the local GAA club and at weekends on the newly improved Royal Canal Greenway. The group is under the guidance and direction of Barry Clarke and is now in its second year.
The 2018 Longwood 5km and 10km was a great occasion for many of these runners and inspired them to take on the Trim 10 miler early this year and a few even pushed on to undertake the Bohermeen Spring Half. They were obviously an inspiration to their neighbours and friends because this year an even biggeer group joined Barrys sessions with Sunday 20 October on home ground their target. They worked through the summer and autumn at the pitch and along the canal with the "home run" in mind. When they went to the line on Main St Longwood last Sunday they had clocked up the mileage in preparation and were gunning for their repective targets.
Well Sunday 20 October has now come and gone and judging by the photo they all look well pleased at what they have achieved.
WELL DONE TO YOU ALL.
