A grand total of five Irish athletes ran inside the Rio ’16 qualifying standards at the Berlin Marathon. Leading them home was Kevin Seaward of St Malachy’s in Belfast in a superb new personal best of 2 hrs 14 mins 54 secs. Seaward had trailed the other Irish at 10km, but speeded up in the […]
Mick Clohisey of Raheny – who runs the Berlin Marathon in a few weeks time – was an impressive winner of the Waterside Half Marathon in Derry. His time of 65 mins 8 secs put him over two minutes clear of his Raheny clubmate Freddy Keron Sittuk, who clearly had last weekend’s Longford Marathon in […]
A brilliant race up front at the SSE Airtricity Fingal 10km saw Mick Clohisey and second placed Mark Kenneally both going under the course record of 30 mins 14 secs. It was a second course record for Clohisey in the Dublin Races Series; he also broke the record at the Irish Runner 5-Mile last month. […]
Mick Clohisey’s time of 23 mins 47 secs put him well clear of the field at the Irish Runner 5-Mile in Dublin’s Phoenix Park. Clonmel’s Kevin Maunsell was second in 24 mins 30 secs, with Gary Thornton of GCH third and first M35. Sarah Mulligan of DSD was first woman in 27 mins 55 secs. […]
If a road running league based on the best races in the country was to be set up (come on someone!), then the Dunshaughlin 10km would definitely be on the list. Look at the quality of last night’s race – Mark Christie and Mick Clohisey strained ever sinew in the chase for the course record […]
Rathfarnham’s Caitriona Jennings made a surprise return to road racing at the Lisburn Half Marathon last night where she finished first woman in 81 mins 17 secs. Jennings has done little running since representing Ireland in the marathon and the London Olympics three years ago. With a number of injury problems, she took up rowing […]
Mick Clohisey recorded a solid victory over Freddy Keron Sittuk at last night’s Dunboyne BHAA 5-Mile. Clohisey’s time of 23 mins 22 secs gave him a five second margin over Sittuk.

Kevin Baker of Arup and Tara Malone, guest, were the winners of the ESB BHAA Beach 5km held at Sandymount strand on a perfect May evening. Big crowd from the banks – especially Societe Generale. Special well done to Orla Gormley of Aer Lingus who finished first W50 in her first race in a year […]
Tomas Fitzpatrick made it a home victory for a second year at the Tallaght 5km, when he beat a quality field including Clonliffe’s Mark Kenneally and Mick Clohisey of Raheny Shamrock.
