Diarmuid Doyle: 2025 was a golden year for Clonliffe Masters athletes in T&F with local, National and International wins for individuals and teams, topped off by Edel’s crowning as Irish Masters Athlete of the Year.
Success at last weekend’s Dublin Masters XC got us off to a super start to the year.
Some of the ‘big dates’ in the 1st quarter of ‘26:
18th Jan – Leinster Masters XC – Carlow
National Indoors Combined Events – NIA
31st Jan – Leinster Indoors – Athlone
15th Feb – National Masters XC – Abbotstown
15th Mar – National Masters Indoors – Athlone

And for anyone looking to sharpen their game with competition, the T&F series
continues at NIA on 14th Jan, 11th Feb and 4th Mar – see AthleticsIreland for details.
While for those of an XC persuasion, the BHAA Winter series, which continues to attract
mainly Masters athletes, has races set for 11th Jan, 7th Feb, 22nd Feb and 28th Feb.
