It's beginning to sound like a bit of a cliché but it was yet again, another race with another record turnout. A total of 512 turned out for the 2nd race of the Ballycotton Summer series breaking last years record number of 503. Just to show how it has grown in recent years, here are the previous numbers...2007 = 279, 2008 = 281, 2009 = 471 and 2010 = 503


The winner of the mens race this year was John Shine of Leevale AC in a time of 26:22 (avg 5:16 per mile), just 7 seconds ahead of the winner of the 1st race in the series Roy Fahy of East Cork AC....(26:29...avg 5:18 per mile). In 3rd place, Chris Harrington of Leevale AC ran 27:02 (avg 5:24 per mile).

In the womens race, Claire McCarthy of St.Finbarrs AC made it two in a row for the series by winning in a time of 29:59 (avg 6:00 per mile). In 2nd place, Rhona Lynch of Eagle AC finished 2nd in 30:16 (avg 6:03 per mile) while Ann-Marie Holland of Eagle AC put in a strong finish to move through the field to take 3rd place in 31:31 (avg 6:18 per mile)

    I had a ball last nite. There is a reason why Ballycotton have been doing this for 30 years or more! Fair play to all involved.

    Thanks to all who organized! The GAA pitch there was ideal for it too.

    good race and very well organised for the size of the crowd that ran it.
    Have never done the summer series before. Does anyone know if they release the placings of the first two races combined or does this only come out as a final placing list when all 4 races are finsihed?

    The overall placings after 2 races should be out sometime before the 3rd race in Churchtown South.
