KILFLYNN RUNNING AND WALKING CLUB:
As our club’s new financial/membership year started on Wednesday 1st October our committee wishes to acknowledge the success of our club over the past year:
Many of our club members participated in events throughout the year such as the Limerick Marathon, Dingle Marathon, The Stacks HM & 10k, Tralee Corporate 5k/10k, BTR event etc. Well done everyone. The sense of team spirit in our club is fantastic with everybody supporting & encouraging each other
Some members of our club completed their first marathon. What an amazing achievement
We had a successful Couch to 5K with the 5k run taking place on St. Stephen’s Day.
Noreen, Joanne, Liz & Michelle ran their first 5k. They took part in many 5k events throughout the year with Louise, Elaine, Josie & Karen
Well done Damien Casey, Pa, Francis, Yvonne. Justin, Shane, Fergus, John, Brendan, Loretto & Terry for completing the tough Stacks Mountain Half Mountain

We welcomed new members Liz, Caroline, Sinead & Austin to our running group & Maureen & Kate to our walking group.
We had a very successful Stacks Mountain Half Marathon & 10k event with 250 registrants. What an amazing day for our club & local community. The atmosphere was electric with lots of positive feedback from participants about the event, the new 10k route & the post-race celebration in Parkers. We donated 5,575-euro profits to 3 local beneficiaries: Kilflynn National School, Crotta ONeills & Abbeykillix Camogie Club. The beneficiaries were very appreciative of our club’s donation.
We participated in Darkness into Light with money raised donated to Pieta House.
Our club has raised a total of 60,000 euro for local charities & organisations since its formation in 2020.
Our running & walking groups had monthly outings which were enjoyed by all to Fenit, Ballyseedy Woods, The Wetlands etc.
Some members of our club are currently unable to join our weekly walks or runs. Denise & Mary Doody, we miss ye & hope ye can join us again soon
Thank you, Mike Parker & Damien Cashel, for your continued support as club sponsors. We really appreciate it
Thank you, John Mahony & Jimmy O’Sullivan, for organising the Wednesday & Sunday runs throughout the year.
Thank you Noreen & Carol for organising our Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday walks throughout the year.
Thank you, Karen, for keeping us up to date on all upcoming running events.

The club’s membership renewal will take place in the St Columba’s Centre on Friday 10th October from 7pm to 8pm. The registration fee is 50 euro, which is the same as last year.
