Falls parkrun – Club Championship Round 8

The course consists of an undulating and short first lap, followed by two longer hillier laps. The air felt thinner up at the top of the park, or was I just feeling lightheaded after the effort of getting up there?

Running downhill past the cemetery, it felt good to be alive and heading for the finish line. First place went to Stuart Kennedy (Beechmount Harriers) in a very impressive time of 17:44.

Des Fahy was the first Orangegrove runner home and 5th overall in a time of 19:05. Claire Kelleher was the leading Orangegrove female and 39th overall with a time 23:38.

The juniors were ably represented by Tom Smith (24:41) and Sam Rainey (25:04). Well done to everyone for turning out in record numbers – we impressed Joe McCann!

Finally, thanks to the Falls Parkrun volunteers for all their hospitality in this their 4th anniversary event.
