Chairperson’s Words

It is my pleasure as chairperson of Athenry Athletic Club to welcome you to the 16th running of the Fields of Athenry 10KM road race. It is a huge tribute to our small army of volunteers, who turn up unfailingly year after year, that the race is alive and prospering – thank you all.

But the most important person is you, the participant. Without you, there would be no race and we are very grateful for you taking the time and effort to support us. If you have been here before, you know what to expect and we hope it lives up to your previous experience. If it’s your first time then you are doubly welcome and we hope to make it as good a race as possible for you.

We do try to build on the race experience every year and if you think there is any area that could be made better, we would very much appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Brendan Galvin.

Race Director’s Note

Dear runners and walkers,

You are all very welcome to Athenry for the 16th running of the Fields of Athenry 10KM road race. M

Once again Hygeia are our title sponsor this year. We are very grateful to them for K 0 1

their continued support, and the support of all our other sponsors. I ask that you Y

support them wherever and whenever you can. R N E

This is my 3rd and final year as race director. It has been an huge honour and H T

privilege to work with such a great team. They have made my job so easy I often A

feel I have nothing at all to do, other than tell others what to do. I would like to F O thank each and every one of them sincerely for all their help over my three years. S D L

We have decided to mark the brilliant achievement of the Galway teams − E I

both senior and minor − in winning their All- by having this year’s hat in the F

Galway colours, which also happen to be the club’s colours. It seems to be very | popular already and we hope you like it too. b u

As always the team has worked hard since August to put on a top-quality race and l

their attention to detail has never waned. C

c

We are delighted to support Athenry Cancer Care again this year; they do a i t

fantastic job helping local people with cancer and their families in very many ways. e l h

Finally, I would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting our race. I t

hope you have a really enjoyable run and wish you all the very best for 2018. A

Still Going Strong, Still Going Forward Anyhow − Martin Keane

Ten years ago I decided I'd give the marathon one last go, and ten years later I'm still at it! During the summer I had a few health problems which left me sidelined for a while. By early July the Dublin Marathon office were running the sales mantra of 'When It's Gone It's Gone' and before the middle of the month it duly was. I started training a bit around that time. I'm not a lover of running on the roads, preferring parks and off-road surfaces, which I find to be quieter and safer. This year, as the building of the M17 motorway neared completion, I would sneak onto it on Sunday mornings, when things would be very quiet, for decided I'd suffer it out and try to finish, if at all possible. my long run. When they put on the last coat of Tarmac it was Somewhere about Inchicore, Caroline Mitchell passed me and a runner's paradise. It runs very close to my house in Athenry she was going very steady. and ready access was not a problem. I reached half-way in 2:09 but it was not at all comfortable Although I heard some mention of a charity cycle in early now. From here on, it was no blood, a lot of sweat and a few September, little did I know one Sunday morning I'd meet tears. A few miles further on, I caught up to a man called Billy about two and a half THOUSAND cyclists coming in the Harpur from North Wexford.

Those years have seen remarkable progress in the development of the facility, with a 140m long 8-lane tartan sprint track bordered by a double-width long jump pit which can also be used for pole vault drills. A separate 20m x 20m high jump area. grass running routes and 42 floodlights on 15 poles around the boundaries of the site have also been constructed. The club is very pleased with the results to date, which are the fruits of the tireless efforts of its committee and coaches and the incredible financial support received from its members and both the local community and the running community. To date the club has spent almost €472,000 on the capital costs of the project together with €20,000 in professional fees and maintenance costs – very close to a total spend of a half a million euro. At the outset of the project, the club had €44,000 in savings so to have raised/spent half a million euro is breathtaking! The work was also achieved with significant grants from the Sports Capital Program and the club are very grateful to Junior Ministers Ciaran Cannon, Seán Canney and Seán Kyne for their advice when preparing the grant applications. With outstanding debt reduced to €174,000 at the end of 2017, the club is now looking ahead to the next phase of development and embarking on a 6-year plan to deliver a 400m track, throwing areas and a substantial building. It is an ambitious plan but the higher you aim the higher you achieve! Mike Tobin Facility Development Officer. M

K Development in Bushfield 0 1

With the 50th anniversary of our club just around the corner, it is an Y

R opportune time to quickly review the past and plan for the future. N

E I'm sure the small group who met in Sgt. Ryle's house in 1968 had H

T little notion what a momentous occasions it would be forming A

F Loughrea AC that evening. O

S At that time, the world of cross-country was very active, road races D

L were scarce and only the very few got access to track, coaching and E I national success, unlike our own Olive Loughnane in more recent F

times. | The international road races of the 1970s projected our club's name onto a very high plateau with Brendan Foster, Seb Coe and b Eamonn Coghlan, amongst others, racing through the streets of our town. We always put on a good show. Thousands more u l lined the streets watching these Olympic winning athletes go through their paces. C The purchase of 27 acres of land in 1985 at Bushfield outside Bullaun proved a different challenge. It is still the venue for club c i

t training and the MANNING SCHOOLS SPORTS is one of the highlights of the club's year. e l Present developments are focused on a playing pitch which can be used for athletic training also. The perimeter of this pitch will h

t also have a running track, to augment the one surrounding the soccer pitch. A Because of the current developments, the use of the cross-country is restricted at the moment but as soon as possible it will be y

r open again to facilitate county and Connacht championships. n

e Coaches, parents and all involved in Loughrea Athletic Club welcome new members, and with the 50th anniversary around the h

t corner, I'm sure there are many memories to be made.

A Watch this space! Loughrea AC. 36

My last attempt unlike here where sometimes the men at a marathon was several years ago, will protect you and shelter you...in and the experience left me so Germany they don't like getting traumatised that I switched to "chicked". triathlons, and hadn’t revisited the My race went well really. Apart from distance since. Fast forward to 2017, an unprecedented loo stop at 22km! I time had passed, and I was ready to won't bore anybody with a mile by have another go. Although the training mile report suffice to say: marathon was done, in the week leading up to running hurts. No training prepares the race, anticipation and nervous you for those last three miles. excitement made way to just plain old Visualisation is a big part of those last realistic target. Sometimes though it nerves. When, why and how had this few miles. Step by step. Catching just doesn't go right on the day. My seemed like a good idea? person by person. Running into the plan was to run as slow as possible in The morning of the race was Festhalle to scantily-clad cheerleaders the first half while staying close to subdued, with our band of runners is a sight to behold. Frankfurt has target pace and I managed that part unusually quiet in advance of the been good to me. alright, crossing the mat at 1:30:15. “off”, contemplating what was ahead. The second half was a different story Most importantly the friends you Focused, freaked out, or maybe both. and Plans B and C came and went. make along the way whilst training I expected to find it tough, and it was.

It was a good night though, we all need to remember we are lucky marathons are tough.

With my time, I would have year when I ran 3:05 so it was a there seemed to be no apparent entry 40 been third Irish home in Dublin but in points so it was a case of spotting a gap in the barriers and forcing our way in. This led to being very far up with the very fast runners and hoping they didn’t spot the imposter. The first few miles are looped around the city and support was strong along with the wind on the day! At about 6/7 miles you head away from the city and are taken on a few dual carriageways (nothing pretty ever to see on a dual carriageway but miles are miles). This is one lovely section through a leafy boulevard, some might even call it a forest. By mile 20 or so you are back in the city and scenery is the least of your troubles and it’s dig-in time and get the job done. I stood at the start line with no real plan other than to run as far as I could as quick as I could and see what happens. Well what happened is I had a great race and the pain didn’t kick in until 23 miles and then it was 'dig dig Back: Dave, Chris, Donal. Front: Esther, Jane Ann, Orla, Gearoid. dig' but I got there. The finish is really rock star stuff, the last 200 metres are in the “Festhalle” with red carpet, flashing lights, confetti pouring from the sky and of course cheer leaders.

John Walshe

Forty years ago this coming June, the BLE national marathon took place at Tullamore. On what turned out to be the warmest day of the summer, from a field of around 100 – a big number at the time – just 51 finished. The winner, in his debut over the distance, was Dick Hooper in a time of 2:23:19. The Raheny man would go to be a treble Olympian (1980, 1984, 1988) and of course also win the Dublin Marathon on three occasions.

Now maybe better known as a coach to the likes of five-time Fields of Athenry winner Mick Clohisey and Sean Hehir (Irish representatives at this year’s World Championships), Hooper was recently the guest four times to run over the course in hand ‘finish’ and then on the other speaker at the St Finbarr’s AC autumn the weeks preceding the race. hand the names of his loved ones (his gathering which tool place at the kids and wife) and every time he was Celtic Ross Hotel in West Cork and his His fluid intake that scorching day struggling he would look at the palms general advice – especially how he was certainly unusual, and even of his hands.
