Results of the Courtmacsherry 10k road race...Fri 24th June 2011
A total of 174 runners attended this 10k road race in West Cork, a bit of a drop on last years figure of 231. The mens race was won by Alan O'Shea of Bantry AC in a time of 31:53 while Carmel Crowley of Bandon AC won the womens race in 37:23.
eplawAnomymous - Not exactly 'barbecue weather'in Courtmacsherry last evening. Never the less all who took part are to be congratulated and well done to the organisers on a well organised event despite the weather. Two cource recors on the night, something for all to aim at for next year !
Great to take part last night despite the weather.well organised flat and fast course and broke my P.B This 10k race must be the fastest in the Country.
What a great course. First time there, and a PB. WHAT a location if the sun had been out. Well done on an excellently organised race. Looking forward to next year already.
Could the road not have been closed for a 1hr period while the race was in progress?? Very anoying for the last half mile where cars were behind runners as we approached the finish
I wish to thank so much the boy in the blue van at the finish line handing out refreshment bags. My friend was in the ambulance and the boy helped me bring the gear bags up to ambulance. When I got to ambulance I had realised I forgot my wives jacket, he ran back to van and the jacket and returned to us. I never asked for help he insisted. Wish I got his name a credit to courtmacsherry hospitality.
Ran this race last night great course and the grub afterwards was great . A great spread and the committee and helpers were very friendly . Defenitly be back next year ..a great 10k course .. All for 10 euro .. Well done
A great race all for €10. The weather was great for the race itself, a light mist- so much better than earlier in the day. So glad i braved the elements for a good cause. Great organisation and a great atmosphere. I'll be back- amazing to see the speed at which the record breakers could run at, great to see race leaders, normally they are too far ahead to witness!!!
