Sunday 8th Sept:
There was a good showing of Mayo AC heads at the Run4Rescue Half marathon this morning. Despite the cold, wet, dreary morning at registration in Westport the sun made a very welcome appearance as we made our way to the start at Louisburgh and on arrival running conditions were perfect. The route really should be in the Discover Ireland brochure it really makes you appreciate the beautiful part of the world we live in. There was a full spread of food after, a serious amount of sugary carbs helped recovery, and went down a treat! Full results are at  www.chipit.ie
