Diarmuid Doyle: Here comes the summer! (As The Undertones once sang).
Some dates for your diary:
NI Masters Track and Field – Saturday 27th June. Entries close on Wednesday 17th June.
If you haven’t been already, the Mary Peters Track is in a beautiful setting, well worth the trip.
DSD Masters Games – Saturday 11th July
Niall Allen is coordinating teams for this. We had 1 Clonliffe team in action last year and managed 3rd place. Fun day out and great to see close collaboration between track and field athletes in the club. Sprinters and Field event athletes especially welcome .
National Masters Track and Field – Friday 7th and Saturday 8th August: On Home Turf in the Morton Stadium this year, so let’s see a big crew of Harriers participating and cheering on!
Looking much further ahead, the biennial European Masters Non-Stadia Championships will be held in Galway in May 2028. Road races, cross-country relay and race-walking are among the events. One to think about and plenty of time to train hard for this.
